CDSE carb jet removal

[Rubce]

Hi

I took the CDSE150 carbs apart yesterday in preparation for overhauling them and then refitting to the GT6 1973 Mark 3 resto. The jets are of the fixed variety. How do I remove them and fit the new ones? Copper drift perhaps? What depth should the new ones be pressed into?

Thanks

Bruce

I've never taken the jets out of CDSE carbs.  Just disassembled everything, cleaned everything up, put it back together, & made adjustments via the through-the-fillhole adjuster with the adjuster tool.  I've never had a reason to remove the jets.

I"ve never got replacement jets before.  Were your originals scored?

as far as i remember, you have to give them a whack as there pressed in.

you can use an extension bar of a quarter inch ratchet and hit it out.
Re-apply the same "technique" to put them in but use a rubber hammer and something soft over the jet making sure it goes in even.
I think the jet has to sit flush against that part of the Venturi.

But as said before if there not bloacked or damaged may not be worth replacing.
The CDSE don't seem to have a good rep but i think there probably fine once set up properly.
Do you have a workshop manual for the car, its worth getting.

Anyone please correct if this is wrong, but i think its what i did on my old ones before replaced.

Hi

Thanks for the info. Yes I did replace the fixed jets and it was a simple case of tapping them in and out. It seemed a sensible thing to do as they came included in the carb overhaul kit.
