Hi All,
I am helping my friend rebuild the SU's from his '72 (good practice
for my '66 Sprite rebuild) and I have a few questions:
1. Throttle shafts: Is it absolutely necessary to put in new bushings
and ream to fit? Can you just buy a new shaft and install? One of them
has a definite ridge worn in it, the other is fine.
2. Piston: both pistons have a little surface rust on the air
cleaner side (sat with the air cleaners off) If they are not pitted,
will a little "emery cloth" do the trick?
3. Piston springs: How "springy" should they be? These seem to
have less spring than a slinky (for fun its a wonderful toy)
4. Linkage: On my own SU's the linkage between the two throttles is
missing. Can I get these parts from the usual suspects? (haven't seem
them)
5. Unisyn: the car came with one, but no instructions. Anyone have
one that they can scan or send a copy via snail mail?
6.. Engine: Anyone have a good 1098CC with all the acilliary goodies
for sale? (for me)
Thanks for all the help,
Steve.
