DesNoble Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Hi I'm looking for an SU H6 piston and dashpot for my TR3A to replace one of mine which was corroded and now has a drop time of about three secs where as the good one takes about 7 secs. I've looked at H6 for AH but the pistons are different and have a number on the piston of 3283 where as mine has 3284 on t and has two holes in the bottom. Anyone with a reasonable/good set that they are willing to part with would be very welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Stuart, I think the pistons are from a later carb than mine as mine have a flat bottom and those seem to have two slots leading to the two holes. I've asked the seller if he can send me photos or the number on the inside of the piston. They do seem to have the H6 long body. Thank you very much for spotting that. Regards. Des.

DesNoble Posted September 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Stuart Two of the pistons were 3283 but by the time I got that they had ended. Thanks again. Des. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DesNoble Posted September 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 Stuart Correction: I need pistons with the number 3284 on the bottom so the ones on eBay with 3283 were not correct after all. Thanks for the lead though. Anyone reading this I'm still in the market for one piston and dashpot for my TR3A H6 carbs. The piston should have the number 3284 inside. Thank you. Des.

david ferry Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Des I have a large box of SU H6 used spares. I know that there’s at least one piston with the part number you’re seeking. I don’t particularly want to sell these parts on a piecemeal basis, so if you’re interested in buying the lot, make me an offer. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DesNoble Posted September 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Hi Dave Thanks for the response. Can I hold fire on this as I've been in contact with Andrew Turner who may have resolved my problem for me. However if not then I would be interested in your suggestion. Regards. Des.

david ferry Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Des, Yes, of course. They're back on the workshop racking. Not going anywhere at the moment. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DesNoble Posted September 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Alan Yes I've looked at Burlen's prices for replacements but am looking at the alternatives at the moment. Des. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DesNoble Posted September 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 Thanks to everyone for their offers and help. With a few tweaks suggested by Andrew my carbs seem to be running well. Thanks Des. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
