Think outside, no box required.
With the machine I posted above you have to balance one at a time and try to get them "near enough" or if you have a patience, spot on

Plenty of info on Google mate,usually balance, idle, mixture then repeat and repeat until you get it right. There are a few tools on the Bay, if they won't send to France thrn get them to send it to me and I'll forward it. One tool I don't have,went missing years ago when someone borrowed it.it's probably the second hand one on the Bay.

Does that measure air flow then?With the machine I posted above you have to balance one at a time and try to get them "near enough" or if you have a patience, spot on
I monitor vacuum across a pair. Find it really easy

Yes it measures the amount of air they draw
Wow, thank you. OK so there is a bit of investigation to do. I've not touched the float levels but there was a larger. 175 float inlet where as the originals were. 150. The result after the rebuilds is very promising compared to the original pig like running.
The membranes are all new and installed with the tags in the correct place.

It is possible if the floats have been previously fiddled with that they 're installed upside down..
Which is quite easy to do IIRC.
For example, it wouldn't drive before hand and wouldn't idle without full choke... So I'm closer, I hope.
I'm.pretty sure they are correct but never say never, I'll check against the diagram I found for what seems to be the same model if the jag v12. There is a cap missing from inside the float bowl the covers the bottoms of the jets on the pistons.
This is the closest I've found. Number 59 is missing with its oring.
Thanks Paul, I watched a couple of vids but only the rebuilds and couldn't find a match to these installed. I hope they are original and it's not going to be a nightmare for me to sort out. It sounds lovely when it's idling.

I've found some in a site called limara. Not sure if it's French. My thoughts are, if the caps are missing are they bleeding fuel up through the needle tube? But then it's running rich already and needing the choke?
