Bob,
Sound like the float may be bad - to check unscrew the cover and check to see
if the floats have any liquid in them - if yes renew - if no then it's likely
to be the float needle - you can replace these with "gross jets". Also check
the gaskets on the float covers to make sure they are in good shape. BTW,
unless you have had a recent rebuild you may want to consider a rebuild kit
which will have all the parts you need to replace gaskets, gross jets/needles
and so on. Hope this helps.

Subject: SU Carb's
I have twin SU on a 78 MGB, I know they are not originial, My problem is
that one of them (Left Hand one) is spitting out gas. I have tried hitting
it with a screwdriver handle hop[ping to free up the needle inside but it
seems to be getting worse. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
