You need to talk to Burlen Fuel Systems in the UK. The sell The S.U.
reference manual which I gather is far better than the equivalent
Haynes manual. The also sell the whole range of spares and overhaul
kits for S.U. carbs. The address is Spitfire House would you believe!
If you don't get the address from anyone else, get back to me 'cos I
know I have it somewhere.
Good luck with the rebuild,
Jonathan
