Dan and List,
I had a set of SU's I sent to a friend of mine. He needed a set to get his Z
running.
The carbs had grose jets and during shipping one of the balls came loose and
after he got it running gas started to come out the over flow. He open it up 
found
the
loose ball and put it back in place. the car was up and running again.

I will vouch for Scott taking care of problems with carb problems. He sent
me some carbs with deep scratches in the domes and he sent me out another
set of domes.
