Always liked the SU, Mr Smith had a good product there, and Lord Nuffield knew it, which is why he bought the company. So many carb companies copied the process later. SUs polish up nicely too! Nice episode,thank you. Les

Thanks Les - yes I am also a big fan of the SU carb now... beautifully simple! It's a lovely sunny day today so we're going to take some toys out for a play... so stay tuned!

The mystery of SU numbers revealed! Great video Chris, good to see you and Bryan collaborating on a project (well sort of) - perhaps you need to give him a bit of encouragement to get his bit homework done!

He did his homework John, and got top marks!

Most people aren't aware of this but if you have a dark corner in your shed, the one any dropped ball bearings roll to to never been seen again, you can actually breed SU carburettors. Obviously you need a male and a female pair to start with, you determine that by looking at their flanges, but if you leave them alone, in the dark corner, with a little 10W-30 left around for lubrication, when you come back in 6-12 months time you are almost certainly likely to have more SUs than you started with! At least that seems to be what's happening in my shed.

haha! I think I'll try and mate the two H5s and see what I get... maybe an H10!!

funny you should say that - I had a couple of HS6 SUs in my garage awaiting restoration but now I have 4!

That SU information was pretty interesting. I didn’t know that about the sizing.

Nice work with the carby mounting; also nice little SU tutorial. Had an American version of an SU [Rivera] on my '68 Harley; worked like a charm.

Thanks Mopar - looking forward to trying it on the engine!

nice bit of work as usual , how did you form the inlet bend or was it repurposed?. . I tend to use yorkshire fittings for all water pipe joints and manifold work. Good luck with the Hamble visit.

I buy the bent tubes off Ebay... every size and angle to choose from. Would love a bender but don't have enough space!

The tillotson carburettor can operate inverted, maybe would have worked in the Spitfires (you know... battle of Britain... Miss [?]'s orifice and all).

Miss Beatrice Shilling. Interesting woman, she raced motorcycles around Brooklands among other things.

I think we need to try and find a tillotson carb!

@@thebracketfactory I didn't mean for you to ditch the SU, I love my MGB GT's HS4's, once I had put new throttle shafts in and finally stopped the vacuum leaks, allowing them to be tuned. I don't want to influence your decisions by my inane comments. You obviously know which way is up, and you're unlikely to need to motor inverted much.

2" SU's are popular here in Australia..though difficult to find someone who can work on them
@thebracketfactory4 ай бұрын
Also extremely common here - probably because ether were fitted to cars like the Morris Minor and Mini as standard... They are not hard to work on though... probably the trickiest thing is balancing 2 of them!

Another skilled piece of engineering loved the video thanks PS. what about the shake down on the 7 ?.
