Just started working on them yesterday. I do have new SU jets from Peter, and
a gasket kit.
I don't have the gaskets (old or new) for the nut that screws into the carb
body, the one under the adjusting nut, is this considered critical? I don't
see what it would actually be sealing, maybe vacuum? Peter probably has them
around, just wondering though.
I think I see how this carb is all supposed to work, can anyone give me some
tips though on the initial settings of the jet, and the butterfly valve screw
and choke screw?
The needle doesn't seem to need any adjustment at all, the slider (piston) is
dropping right down and clicking at the bottom with the choke set or not, hope
I am not missing anything as there is MUCH said about centering the needle.
I'll want to get new throttle shafts, so I can also have Peter look them over
when I'm done.
I have a carb balancing tool, this will help get them set up rather than a
rubber tube and my ear..........
