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.

Blocked jet? air leak? incorrectly set? float level incorrect? . Check the basics first. HTH

ok,

All taken apart and blown thru no blocked jets.

How would i check the float level is correct?

DNF = Does Not Function, obvious really

Have you wound down the idel screw? What about timing/igntion?

Has it ever tun, of so, what has been changed?

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..
