Kees,

Please list the routine maintenance requirements for SU carburettors. 
I've been terribly negligent, I "set'em and forget'em" for tens of

      <p>Webers or DellOrtos are so much easier to maintain than the
        SUs. A good book is Des Hammill's book How to Build &amp; Power
        Tune Weber &amp; DellOrto DCOEE &amp; DHLA Carburetors<br>

        Anyone have a set of MGB HS4 carbs that are rebuildable at least
        they would like to sell?  Six months ago I bought a 1969 MGB
        GT.  It came with an aluminum head (good) and a Weber DCOE
