I'm having a continuation of an old problem. My '70 142 is still a bear to start. Now when I enter the garage in the morning I can smell gas, and she won't start as she's already flooded. I've had the best luck getting her going by removing the air filter and then removing a plug and turning the engine to get some extra air in. I'll then reinsert the plug and turn the engine again and she'll fire up but soon die. After I do that a few times she'll reluctantly fire up and stay running.

I know the Strombergs gotta go. I'm debating between Weber and SU. I've heard plenty of good stuff about the SU H6 carbs. Any opinions on them vs Weber 45 DCOE or the Weber DGV 32/36? And do the Webers bolt right on or do they need an adapter?

In the short term I'm curious about what I can do to adjust my Strombergs, short of buying a somewhat expensive manual ($50+ on Amazon). Any good Stromberg resources out there on the web?
