        Dick:

        Dang it! And I was soooo looking forward to seeing you in those
shoes.

        I guess I will need to continue to lurk about on the list, and
pounce
the minute I see any signs of weakness. =;-o

        Vance


        P.S. By the way, thanks for checking with Burlen. That pretty
much eliminates
any doubt, darn it anyway...

 Vance, and List----Included is correspondence about this subject from
Burlen Fuel Systems. We know them to be a major supplier of parts for
our ZS and SU carbretors.

First, I must agree that the ZS carburetors CAN use needles other than
the B1AF that came with the TR6. With that acknowledgement, I will
"stand corrected".  In fairness, Vance showed that these are not a
direct bolt-on, but a can-do, given the patience necessary to accomplish
this..
My original post stated that "some machining was necessary to get other
needles to fit"

Dear Sir, 
The only needle we have listed as standard fit to this carb is the B1AF.
This was fitted across the range of TR6         models. There
are no weak or rich needles listed. In order to select a tuning needle,
which I presume is why you wish to change, you will need to visit a
tuning specialist with a rolling road. 
Kind Regards
