Ok, I'll start my own thread. :)
 

Hey - any of you guys ever messed with SU Carbs before? I could use some help making sure the '71 is running correct. ...probably wouldn't hurt to check the timing either, but I've never done that. I know it involves a flashy light. ;)

(sigh) I guess since I'm joining the club it means I'm going to have to take pictures for you guys, huh? :D

Andy, you have to get Tom B. to help you out, he's got old school SU/Solex/Weber carb balancing experience. I failed in my one try 26 years ago. :roll:

SU's were the main reason I got rid of my Austin... well actually there were a lot of reasons....

I definitely spent some time w/ SUs...but that was a looonnngggg time ago.:)

Tom B = REH over on Hawaii Talks?

I know there are at least a few guys out there who have messed with 'em before. I just gotta lure you out of the woodwork. :)

Right now the only thing I have with twin SUs (1.25") is the Cooper S. The '71 has a single 1.25, but I have a 1.5" for that (with manifolds) also. The "new" A+ 1275cc engine is going to be single carb I think. Gotta get the work done on the '71 and put it back up for sale. Then I should know how much money I have to work on the '66.

:nod: That'd be him. Ask him Friday.
