        duffer, who shall remain nameless (his initials are I.K.).

        #1. Remove SZ carbs from their mounts.

        #2. Carefully remove all linkage.

        #3. Take both carbs out of the garage

        #4. Pick a direction and throw carb #1 as far as you can

        #5. Throw carb #2 as far as you can in the opposite direction

        #6. Get SU carbs

        I tried this method with the SZ's that came with the "Green Man".
        It worked like a charm.
