Hello all,
On the 67 MGB roadster, I am going to remove the Weber downdraft carb and
replace it with the original equipment SU's. I'm not happy with the Weber for
various reasons. Mostly a hesitation and generally bad running at low engine
speeds when giving it gas. Once the engine speeds up and I'm moving along the
Weber is great.
Anyway, I pulled the old SU's off my 67 MGB/GT parts car, and they are very
clean on the inside. The GT hasn't been registered to be on the road in 11
years - so the fuel in the float bowls is stale, but other than that the carbs
look to be in fabulous shape.
My question is, should I go ahead and dismantle/rebuild them before installing
(and spend the $50 on the kits) or should I just install them and then
remove/rebuild if there's a problem? The carb oil isn't leaking - are there
other concerns?
As always, TIA
