While similar they are not quite the same design. Most Mikuni's and
Keihin's (if similar to those used on motorcycles) have a couple of
advantages. They have a true idle circuit, pilot jets and easily
exchangeable main jets. All of which add up to a more tunable carburetor.
A jetting change is as close as your local motorcycle shop.

>What do you think is unadjustable on a Stromberg? You can change needles,
you can change piston springs, you can change damper oils, you can change
float height. All the same things you can change on a SU, a Mikuni or a
Keihin. As for the SU being low tech, it's the same design as the Mikuni's
or Keihin's you admire, with all the same adjustments, principles and
operations.
