All the presets; static timing, rocker clearance, points and plugs were spot on. My HS4 tricarbs have plastic floats which are non-adjustable. However, there was a very thin fiber washer (stock) under the float needle seat. The washer changed the float level so it was out of spec. Removing the washer put the float level back to normal. Incidentally, the SU tuning manual states that float level is not critical. Bottom line is I was able to setup the carbs and a little more micro advance (the knob on the distributor) resolved the spitting through the carbs. All is good.
