Thanks to everyone who responded to may float lid problems. Now I'd
like to find all the SU fuel level setting experts out there. This
is on a '58 TR3A.
A person I who's opinion I respect a lot told me that the "Proper"
(he's British so I guess he can talk like that) way of setting the
fuel level on SUs is to remove the chamber and piston from the carb
and look at the level of the fuel in the jet. The correct level is
that, when the jet is raised to it's highest position, the fuel should
be just at the top of the jet. In fact if the car is rocked a bit
the fuel might dribble over into the carb body. With the float levers
set to the standard 7/16" adjustment this is pretty much the condition
I get on the front carb. The rear carb is a different story though.
With the same 7/16" adjustment, the fuel level in the rear carb is
a good 1/8" below the top of the jet. So far I haven't found a setting
for the float lever which will bring the fuel anywhere near the top
of the jet. Anyone have any ideas what may be going on? Has anyone
used this method of setting the level and gotten it to work. What
are peoples favorite ways of setting the fuel level?
I guess that's enough questions for now.
Thanks for any input,
Drew
