[Healeys] HS4 needles (tri-carbs)

[Bob Haskell via Healeys <healeys@autox.team.net>]

I found an inconsistency in the BT7/BN7 parts lists for the carburetter 
needles fitted to the tri-carbs (HS4s).  The 4th and 5th editions have 
the standard/rich needles swapped.

Part Number
        AKD 1151 4th edition
        AKD 1151 5th edition
AUD1127
        Needle - standard (DJ)
        Needle - rich (DJ)
AUD1128
        Needle - rich (DK)
        Needle - standard (DK)
AUD1126
        Needle - lean (DH)
        Needle - lean (DH)


Other references that match the 4th edition:

  * Tuning S.U. Carburetters, by Speed Sport Motobooks - July 1970.
  * SU Carburetters, by Interauto, 1972.
  * Burlen's web catalog
    <https://sucarb.co.uk/carbspec/carburettor/essentials/id/395/>

Other references that match the 5th edition:

  * AKD 5036 issue 3, Carburetter Service Parts List, page SJ8

If the needle charts in the Speed Sport Motobooks and Interauto books 
are to be believed, then the info in the 4th edition is correct.
