Steve,

If it anything like the SU tuning kit I had back in the early 70s when I 
was a shade tree mechanic. It has 2 wire rods, about 4" long with either 
right angles or triangles bent at one end, a wrench, a plastic rod for 
measuring float height via the banjo bolt holes, and possibly a tool for 
centering the jets. I don't recall what else. The rods are intended to 
be inserted into the dashpots on top of the carbs so that you can see 
how high the pistons move up without pulling the air filter. I seem to 
recall that mine was in a brushed leather roll up kit, but that was way 
too long ago! I never used it. The wrench fits the jet adjustment nut. I 
don't remember if it was for the jet centering nut, or for the needle 
adjustment, either way, I didn't use it. I also had a Uni-Syn for 
measuring the airflow into the carbs. I used it all the time. Needless 
to say, after a few years of carrying the tuning tool set around, and 
never using it, I got rid of it.

I found this kit 
http://www.minimania.com/web/item/00-3683/invDetail.cfm, but it is not 
what I had, I don't think.

Peace,
Pat
