I would imagine that AAU are *way* to rich even if you are using a full
sport exhaust. There is a downloadable Excel spreadsheet that makes needle
comparison easy, I think there is a link on teglerizer.com, but mail me off
list if you would like me send it to you. This shows that at full throttle
AAU will flow buckets of petrol, which would give the rich running symptoms
you described yesterday.
The springs are not all coloured, just a small identifying paint dot on one
end. Choices are red (std), yellow (medium) or green (heavy). These
colours will have probably faded over the years - my yellow ones look quite
brown now. The 1500's were fitted with a number of different 1.5" SUs - the
size and shape of the carb top (and hence the spring inside) changed. Make
sure you know which ones you have before ordering. Some were longish
(2.75") with a small (1") diameter and others were short (1.5") with a
larger (2.5") diameter.
Moss trade under several names: Moss, TriumphTune and also Cox and Buckles.
I only have a very old address for them 22 Manor Road, Richmond, Surrey.
It's just off the south circular near North Sheen Station. Old phone number
was 0208 948 6668. I can't find a listing in the yellow pages to confirm
though. They advertise on the back page of the Courier (TSSC magazine).
