I apologise in advance for Hogging the thread!
I didn't use an ultrasonic thingamabob( I'll put one down for my wish list though) to clean mine... https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=310258 I don't know(or remember) if Alan did a complete strip down, or maybe I couldn't find one? Just noticed that was 3 years ago, out with the tools so......

Just follow Bob's link above to his excellent guide. All you will need is that, a diaphragm and a tin of carburettor cleaner to fix this problem. Once you have done it would save a lot of time to have the local MoT garage test the CO output (not a full MoT test, just a contribution to the tea bag fund in exchange for 5 minutes on the gas analyser). That will enable you to get the mixture screw (I think called the CO adjuster in the Green Book) at the bottom of the carburettor right. If you remove the adjuster for cleaning count the number of turns out and put it back in the same place - it won't be far off. Good fortune,

Volvo Green Book
See if this works - I've tried attaching a compressed PDF for the Green Book covering carburettor fuel systems.
I think the quality is too low (too much compression).

I suppose this is the end of the line for the 'New (to me) 1980 Volvo 244' thread - unless Kelton (wisty) would like to take charge for the RB's next chapter?
Thank you to all those that have followed and contributed to the thread over the past 3 1/2 years. This has been fun. Alan

Never noticed before, but the reflective tape on the rear should be on the front.
I guess it's too late to change it now!!
