stromberg carbs re-assembly

[markmark2]

Hi all, can anybody tell me what the 2 holes under the pistons are for? is there a right and a wrong way to refit the piston, position wise into the carb body? Or can they be fitted in anyway? Thanks in advance. Mark

If you have fitted the diaphragms correctly ( Rubber locating pegs in the slots) then you can't put them back in wrong

If my memory serves me correctly they are there to create the depression needed to lift the piston........

You should also fit the needles with the spring bias facing the elbow IIRC.
