Burlen LTD Home page

is the place where most of the SU stuff ends up. I've had needles off them. Lots of the classic car places do rebuild/service kits too - minispares.com for example

Carbs should be HS6 or HIF44 (separate or combined float chambers) I think.

they're not hard to rebuild at all. What makes you think only one is working?

Coz it sounds like theres only 4 cyclinders working and theres no power, one starts leaking petrol out of its breather, whereas on gas it runs perfect

cheap , but having twin carbs is a pain, I am going for a single one and gas rather than more messing about.
