1966 MK10 Engine Issues - Help Needed

Pendliss - I'm coming to the same conclusion, that I'll have to rebuild. I've cleaned all I can without removing as they're so difficult to remove due to lack of access. Also with my rusty tanks who knows what crud could be inside.
As you've already rebuilt yours:
1 - Did you get the rebuild kits from Burlen fuels and if si which kits did you use?
2 - Do any parts need to be pressed in? I don't have access to a press or reamer
How does your auxillary carb function....well?
Assuming you have an auto box how does the car/engine react when you select drive? Does it want to stall?

I did not get a kit - just got the parts I needed from SNG Barrett. No parts needed to be pressed in. Getting the intake manifold off was a pain but it then gave me the opportunity to polish the aluminum while I was rebuilding the carbs. The aux carb worked fine - stays on until the engine reaches 35C. On a cold day (below 50F here) it may take three attempts to start a cold engine before it runs without dying out. Then I let it idle until the aux carb goes off before I put it into gear. There is still a chance the engine will stutter until I've been driving for another five minutes and then it runs smoothly. I do have some piston slap which I believe contributes to the rough cold running but it dissipates when the engine reaches full operating temp.

Condition of the engine when I got the car
After polishing
I took the air intake assembly off to have easier access to the carbs and fuel line which needed top be replaced and because I needed to have it polished. I did not remove the intake manifold at that time. It took quite a bit of time as the nuts are in such a tight location, you can only spin them a tiny amount before needing to reposition the wrench.
