Help Please, I have just finished rebuilding a 1971, 10" wheel 1275gt. The
engine is totally standard, but I have fitted twin HS4 CARBS, I took the car
to my tuning guy who reccomended number 7 needles, howvever now when I run
the car it is excellent when warm terrible when it is cold, so I am looking
for any needle recomendations that could give me a nice balance, I don't
care about top end performance just a nice smooth engine whatever its temp.

try downloading WINSU from www.winsu.co.uk it really helped me when I was
looking for the right needle after fitting a stage 1 kit

And Limbo was sitting next to Elvis in the spaceship, which I thought was
kinda strange, but then they turned to me and said:

Nope, from the description it's definitely too weak.

Probably an air leak, as several others have posted already.
