Dear Sirs, Phantom III E.E.C 42 Carburetters We are in receipt of your letter of the 23rd inst. reference as above, with regard to flooding on the Phantom III Carburetters. If you remember, we altered the needle seating and needle to accommodate low pressure, and now that you are getting up a higher pressure, it will be a question, we think, of altering the needle seating again probably back to the original. However, we have at once asked Mr. Fisher to go and see you, which will be in the course of the next day or so. Meanwhile, we remain, Yours faithfully, THE ZENITH CARBURETTER CO. LTD. General Manager. TLT/GD. | ||
