I have SU=E2=80=99s on my =E2=80=9859 Morgan, never had a problem but am try=
ing a Weber 40 DCOE on a Midget I am restoring.

I=E2=80=99m wiring it from scratch with a Painless kit so the chances of it r=
unning are not good so it might as well look the part.

 SU=E2=80=99s on Triumphs never suffer from any of this which is why Triumph=
