Correct, the SU's have no accelerator pump. The Dashpots are
supposed to give an accelerator pump type of effect by slowing the
rise of the pistons upon acceleration causing a momentary rich
condition. It all requires airflow. Sticking your hands over the
air intake on the SU while cranking the motor will pull extra fuel
into the engine, though.
