 I have ordered the pressure gauge. Going to check that first. The diaphragms look good, and so do the carbs in general. I did try some cleaner on the pistons. The surfaces look clean and feel pretty smooth. The little spring on the needle itself is also alot stiffer in action then the other. Not sure if that matters.

I'm going to order a new needle as well. Having two different needles can't be good. I haven't decided if I should order 2 JH stock needles or just replace the one needle that appears problematic. The Grose jets look good and will put them in if and when the carb needs to come apart.

I am very diy and the most mechanically inclined person I know. I can fix just about anything. I will get the car fixed, eventually, but I am definitely trying to save time and money. You guys have been very helpful. While I can't enjoy driving the car yet we are getting to know each other intimately.
