Car Killer

I am a fecking great mechanic me...

I decided to have a go at the carbs. I have been driving on the choke for weeks now. No choke = chugging around like an 850cc 20 year old Fiesta. With choke, it goes like a v8 and sounds like a v8. But that's not right, so I set out to fix it.

i got one bigger than the other ...

I would like to blame the fact that the car is now completely fucked on the two carb springs that should be the same size but are not. That's another tenner. It will now only start on full choke and revs at about 4000 rpm, any fuel added via the accelerator and the fucking thing stops. The carb link rod thing that joins the two SUs together has also snapped at one end. That's another ton to fix. Not that I could get it anywhere near a garage.
