Hello all,
In solitary, I decided to send off for a repair kit for an SU carb I am preparing for my chummy.
Burlen were incredibly rapid, and I got the kit this morning.
BUT my new needle was not included.
The old carb has a no.2 needle, which looks bent.
I read old posts and ordered a No. 6 needle, which seems to be a good option.
Burlen have today quite understandably suspended operations, so I've had it for getting it from them.
Has anyone got one that they could post to me please? Happy to replace with the new one.
The carb is an 1 1/8 HV2 from a Morris 12. I have made an elbow from brass for the base of the original inlet manifold, which needed a bit of thought, because the Morris flange on the end is at 45 degrees rather than the usual vertical or horizontal.
This wasn't a problem as I was silver soldering the new flange to the 90 degree elbow- a bit of fiddling, but it's worked quite nicely.
Thanks
Steve
