The SU AUF 301/303/305 fuel pump should deliver 15 Imperial

                  the piston is the start of the "test the mixture
                  setting" exercise. You begin the push, ever so
                  slightly,  and listen to the idling engine. The idle
                  goes up.  What do you do next? You continue to raise
                  the pin  to see what happens. If the idle continues to
                  rise you know you are in a rich condition. If the idle
                  stops going up and starts to drop off the mixture is
                  pretty close. If the idle does not increase from the
