Good day List,
Preparing rebuild my older pair of SU H6 carbs, AUC768, and am trying to
find the tolerances for the throttle shaft (butterfly shaft). In other
circles I have heard about bearings and reamers to correct any issues here
but upon initial inspection I do not find any type of bearings in the body
for this shaft. I measured the play using a dial indicator in the center of
the carb throat and I can lift the shaft .002, but I don't know if this is
good or horrible???
I have the Speed Sport book "Tuning SU Carburetters" that is nice but no
data other than lots of needle charts. Which brings the second question: I
live at an elevation of 6,000ft, the needles in these carbs are "SM" which
is the standard needle according to the the Bentley's & Moss catalog,
Haynes says TESM. Should I be using a richer needle to compensate for the
elevation? I am not racing or tuning for high performance.
BTW, all this should leave me with a spare pair of Stromberg 175s should
anyone be in need you can contact me off list.
Thanks to all,
Bill B
