I have just fitted my carb to my xflow, and it starts on the button when manually operating the choke but when I try to back it of she just dies....carb is a 1600 cortina DNF..

Any ideas.

Any relation to the DG(A)V ?

I have expanded diagrams of the Weber DGV and info relating to float heights.

U2U me if you think they'll help..
