This is not an accurate description of the SU setup in a '66 B, at least 
(I don't know what year yours is). The fuel line has a branch to the rear 
carb, and then continues to the front carb. So they can fill 
simultaneously. If yours really is set up as you describe, I can see how 
that could cause problems.
