Hello David, in the meantime i have got a reply from Max Merrit. They have got this parts on stock:

11B-126 nozzle passage plug
11B-159 bypass bleeder screw plug
75-538 metering rod

do you think i will make a mistake if i would order their parts?
If i understand you well, you are still not sure if you will find some parts for my carb.
I thank you very much for your help and your patience.
Best regards Josef

Hi Tobs,

i have got a lot of troubl with this carb. We have passed the technical inspection . now the car is official road legal. but the engine runs much to lean. the engine temerature is much to hot. the carburator is boiling after a short ride. we have checked the CO value with a electronic device. even with max adjustment ( screws are close to fell off) the CO value is less than 1%. I brought the carb to a carb specialist for a overhaul. he has made bushings for the worn out throtle shaft and some more things. he found out that the carb configuration is much to lean.
looking forward to have a better result soon. BR Josef

Good morning DP.
i hope your evening together with the grindstone was a success?

Thank you for your detailed reply. Your information is very important for me. ( the car comes from the Albuquerque area, that fits maybe to 5000ft)

But today ( if the carburator is back) it will run on 200 feet altitude.

looking forward to your reply. i hope you can find something suitable,
best regards Josef

i will ask the guy who has got my carburator on his bench.

I do not the job my myself. because i am afraid my kitchentable is not the right place. I want to help him to find the parts he needs. usual he is in the buisiness for stromberg and SU.
i just had asked him what he is looking for. because he stucks with my job in finding the right parts. everything else is done. I guess the parts he has asked for are from the carburator manual.

i will ask him what is today in my carburator.
I will come back ASAP, i hope you will find something.
BR Josef

My 47 super clipper carburator is fitted with a wrong metering rod. Somebody of its previous owners designed a carburator of different carter parts. Could anybody please push me in the right direction were i can buy spare parts for this carburator? In the "Daytona" overhaul kits this part is not included. thank you very much in advance, BR Josef

Re: Water manifold tube in 356 engine

thank you for all your thoughts and helpful links. i have disassemble the waterpump and found maybe the reason. with the last assembling of the pump i have used maybe to much sealing silicon. you can see i have closed one hole in the watercircuit between pump and engine. i will take care with the new pump and use less silicon on the seal. in any case if this hole free, i will have more circulation. thank you, best regards Josef

Water manifold tube in 356 engine

after rebuilding the engine in detail. i am still not 100% content with the watertemperature. every water channel was cleaned with with a lot of care. the radiator is rebuild and one of the heaters is complete new. the engine is running without thermostat. i read somewhere that the water manifold, tube made of sheet metal, that is in the block, must look a little bit forward over the surface of the engine. in direction of the pump. this is important for the efficiency of the waterpump. but i can't remember where it is described in detail. does anyone know how far the pipe must be over the engine surface? i guess somethink like 0.12 inches? what do you think , best regards Josef
