>Rich, Hi!! I am a yank born and raised in Portsmouth. Used to hit the
Solent Hotel,Dolphin and various other jazz clubs in the 60s. Also a place
in Botley whose name escapes me. I would reccommend you buy the Haynes
Manual on SU carbs.They are pretty straightforward unless you have to line

that area can make tuning difficult. Good luck, Stu ex Portmuthian.(Ford
