I am in the process of rebuilding a pair of carbs off my son's 1969 Mk3,
and have a few questions I am hoping someone can help me with:
1.The carbs are AUC983 s which according to the Haynes manual are for
the 950cc engine. The bore is 1.25". Are they the wrong carbs???
2. The needles say 7OO. I cannot find an OO needle in the Haynes
appendix. The needles I believe are meant to be DD. Did SU run out of D
D dies and use O's or are these the wrong needles?
3. The front jet is red, the rear is black. Should they be different, if
not which is correct?
Many thanks
