Nigel A Posted September 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Just stripped and thoroughly cleaned the carbs. ordered jets, needles, needle valves, adjustable floats, gaskets etc from Burlen which should arrive Monday. Finally understood a bit more about how SU’s work so hopefully many years of trouble free fueling to look forward too!!! Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nigel A Posted October 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Parts arrived from Burlen and carbs rebuilt. Spent a long time adjusting the mixture and balancing them. Car now seems to run better than it ever has especially the way it accelerates Thanks to everyone for their advice Nigel ps think mixture still a tab too rich - should I leave well alone?
