100 thou. So 1/10 of an inch. Without measuring it, just looking at by eye on your pic, that looks to me a bit more than that.
Just saying. Have you actually measured it?
And I am not sure who you are referring to, is it you, being ironic about...
I know the jet does not move, the jet should only be used to set the idle mixture only. But if you go hog-wild and wind it down too far you affect more than just the idle mixture, you affect the first few station positions too. :(
Been oot to put the centre console n bits back on, drives far better, fault in the ns indicator & a led drl out.

@Stanleysteamer well, well, well. Here is our SU carb "expert tuner" showing us all a perfect plug after a tuning session.

The link, if you can open it shows an amazing right that French peeps have that no other country allows!
and this is the wind that blows...
I must admit that if it had been me I would maybe have done both of these but I would have done them one at a time to see which had the effect.
Predetonation I would have imagined coming from the timing being slightly too advanced, yet you have...
