My 1978-ish 244 has just had points, plugs and timing done, but it's still backfiring and coughing appallingly. The mechanic said the carb [Stromberg CD 15 2] is beyond adjustment and needs an overhaul, too rich at idle and too lean above. Anyone got an exploded diagram? Found one for Triumphs, different fittings. TIA

You probably only need a new diaphragm for the carburettor. These fail at (longish) regular intervals.
Cheers, Peter.
That's sheer extortion! Even over here, a replacement diaphragm for a pierburg 175cdus (not too dissimilar to yours) is only about 15 -20 UK pounds, are you sure that they were quoting for the right part?
