[QUOTE="A_HRD, post: 47712, member: 49"] Matty, As ever, perfect advice from Greg. A std Comet had the 229 1-1/8th bore carb. [U]Not[/U] a 276 (1-1/16th) (but these were used on Rapides). If you are sure you have got a 276 on your Comet and you want to stick with it, you must replace the needle and needle jet with 276 items. The 229s items are different (longer for one!) and if fitted will cause all manner of problems. The float-chamber components are identical on both carb types. I am surprised you had to lap in the slide! Somethings sounds mighty suspicious to me….. Peter B Bristol, UK. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
