Yay, another barn-Sprite video! I enjoy the rallycross videos because I used to do that, but what I subscribed for is the car-fixin', Whitworth-wrench-twisting shop-rat action! I had a pretty tiring day at work, but it got better as soon as I saw this pop up in my YT feed. Thanks!

Very well explained and a job well done. It has been a long time since I did a job like this so nice to see it done again. It will be great to see this one run better than it did before. I will look forward to the next episode Steve , thank you for the upload. 👍👍

Thanks very much Steve for that enjoyable presentation. Can you imagine an automotive engineer in this day costing out the production of that carburetor? Would be fired on the spot!

I really wish I had your detailed video or one like it before I rebuilt my first set of SUs. Of course that was way back in the early 1970s. 😂. Great job Steve.

Dang, sure do wish You Tube and this channel were around 45 years ago when I was trying to rebuild a pair of these carbs from an English shop manual. That's English, not American shop manual. SU carbs are the devil's own work shop. You make it look so easy and logical. The only carb I had rebuilt before these was a Carter. Not much similar between the two besides the smell. I never did get my carbs properly running again. A shame too. I really liked that Midget.

As someone in the UK who has messed / tuned SU carbs since I was a teenager, that was really interesting as I have never stripped one right down. Incidentally, over here that model of Sprite is known as a 'Frog Eye'.

A good video very well explained. I think that you should have explained in more detail how to centre the jet though, its very important and best done before the carbs. are fitted back on the car. All this is fully explained in the official SU manual. These SUs are a joy to work on and so simple to recondition, its a job that I've done many times when I worked for BMC back in the1950/60s. I was very surprised that you didn't rebush and replace the throttle spindle and butterflies. They were very certainly worn. The parts come in the recon. kit.

I will do another video on centering the needle as there is several ways to do it both with the correct tools and without.

So I was talking to an old SCCA guy, Dick Powers last weekend at the SVRA weekend at Watkins Glen and Jack Daren was there being honored by the MG drivers for his work in building cars back in the day. Dick and Jack related a story about tuning SUs, they would fill the bowls then blow into the intake and at the point the fuel would just well up from the needle, they called it good. Apparently that was the secret method back in the day with these car builders. I wanted to know how they got their faces right into the intake to blow in there but they just shrugged and said when you're young you can contort yourself easier.

I think about SU carbs when people lament about the good old days and how impossible fuel injection is to maintain

I’m sure I saw another of your excellent videos where you said that you should always take the carbs to pieces separately to avoid mixing the parts? I see you are careful to keep the parts either side of your bench but was I mistaken?
