I have the SU Manual on my site on the Bulletins page. It is a very large
PDF file. It is very comprehensive and gives theory, etc.  Scott's extract
is very useful and I will place a link to it ASAP

Hi Alan;  Well I finally got around to it and the two files for all Big
Healey and Sprite carb models and numbers are now on the AHC of Southern
Ontario
website at:  http://www.ahcso.com/Technical.html   The two pdf files are at
the bottom of the page.

Now that sounds like a file that should be on John Sims site.
My 2 cents.

Hello Reinhart;  Attached is a file with all the carb information for the
Big Healey.  The information was sourced primarily from Burlen's over a
decade ago and the link I used does not work today.  According to the data,
the standard needle is 'QW' and the rich needle is 'QA'

You should be able to confirm at http://www.burlen.co.uk/
or   http://www.sucarb.co.uk/

a big rebuild ofthe engine of my 100 the carbs (H4) are running too rich at

we changed to "QW" which are still in there. My mechanic told me that "QA"
should be the right needles for the engine setup. But he seems to have
difficulties to get these.  Anyone who knows a source for these, preferable
in Europe? >> _______________________________________________
