Gordon Harrison 02 July 2022 The new filters are from Moss Motors , felt with wire mesh. Since I have owned the car the origional filters have never been changed, Shame on me ,
The new ones are as per the picture above. -

It is unique logic, and you may be lucky and find your change of air filters will, by coincidence, solve the rich running. But without wishing to sound rude, yes, it does sound daft.
To some extent, I find the trickiest part of adjusting the mixture of the carbs is removing and replacing the air filters! I have always found that so fiddly that I have changed the way they are atta... -

Nigel Atkins 01 July 2022 Gordon,
a photo of the filters (fitted) might help, as original can have different meanings.
What work or servicing/maintenance have you done on the air filters since the carbs were rebuilt?

Gordon Harrison 01 July 2022 My 57 Mga coupe currently is running rich. I could adjust the mixture but I have decided to replace the air filters. I am doing this ,because they are the " origional " ones that came with the car when I bought it back 52 years ago.

Tysen McCarthy 01 July 2022 This is silly and frustrating.
I am replacing an AM/FM radio in my cabin of my boat, but since it is a 12 volt system and a car radio I thought I'd ask this knowledgeable group.
It needed a very simple harness change out, which I did.
I confirmed that there is voltage to both the red wire and the yellow wire in the power harness. However, the radio will not turn on. -
