 whats the problem, rip the carb off, put an SU wiht the same diameter on it
and hey presto, plenty of jets and needles for SU's available, remember the
program haystack or SU needle for your searches on the ftp server. If you
get an old SU you'll even get that period look in case it concerns you.

Thanks for the URL's I'll try them tonight. The guy said he tried to
find
info on the net but I didn't find out if he was a newbie and so haven't
done any "power" searching yet. I tried the list hoping for some Brit
with
a wealth of knowledge...
