Richard and Perry,

=20

Both of my S.U. books show AUC8112 as the only damper for the BJ8

AUC8114 is for the Mk II tri-carb and ALL of the Sprites with the =
exception of the Bugeye (S.U. calls it =E2=80=98Frogeye=E2=80=99 as do =
you British listers) which has AUC8103

=20

AUC8115 is found in the HD8s fitted to E-type Jags and the 4 litre =
Jensen 541 from 1960 =E2=80=93 1963.

=20

For you Anoraks out there, my main S.U. book by S.U. is called SPARE =
PARTS AND SPECIFICATION CATALOGUE.  It runs to 179 pages and is spiral =
bound.

I got it at the Goodwood Revival back in 2015.  It is a very useful =
little handbook.

It has everything you wanted to know about S.U. carburettors, but were =
too afraid to ask.  =F0=9F=98=8A

The carbs I have on hand have the most common, and perhaps the correct =
piston rod  AUC8112.  Also found AUC8114.  My factory 3000/BJ8 parts =
book covering the HD8 carbs has conveniently disappeared for the moment =
so I can not verify what part the factory called for.  The weight of the =
piston body (very small weight at the end of the damper rod) should not =
have a bearing on the operation as it can only move vertically 1/16 inch =
and is otherwise fixed in place. I checked the diameter of the piston =
body on several and they all appear to be the same. The diameter would =
seem to be much more important for proper carb operation.=20

I had asked the SU dealer in England for guidance for use of the =

email to the list.

I have 3 sets of HD8 carburetors all with different dashpot dampers.  =
AUC8112, AUC8114 and AUC8115.  What is the correct damper for a BJ8?
