I saw this on Facebook. It was written about SU=E2=80=99s on =
MG=E2=80=99s. SU=E2=80=99s on Triumphs never suffer from any of this =
which is why Triumphs are superior to MG=E2=80=99s.
Let the flames begin.
1.. SU CARBURETORS! These are SU carburetors, which were used on =
many British sports cars, onsuch as this MG. Here are some guidelines on =
maintaining SUs!
* If your carburetors don=E2=80=99t leak, you are out of gas. (This =
rule is similar to the =E2=80=9CMG test for oil=E2=80=9D).
* The only time your carburetors run properly is when a mechanic is =
taking a test drive.
* SU carburetors parts are interchangeable. You can replace a faulty =
part with a new one and the carburetor will run just like it always did.
* When replacing needles, the only parts store with the correct ones =
will be in Coventry or on a ship floundering in an Atlantic storm.
* When you get the correct carburetor needles, one of them will be =
bent.
* The universal SU repair Kit will work on all carburetors except =
yours.
* A float will only have a hole in it if it is Sunday and the parts =
store is closed.
* No two repair books will recommend the same fluid for the dampers.
* Whitworth nuts and bolts are similar to SAE nuts and bolts except =
that the shoulders are rounded off.
* Tightening the jet nut will automatically move the jet off center.
* All levers and jets will move smoothly if (and only if) the =
carburetor is sitting on the kitchen table.
* MG carburetors are infinitely adjustable. That is they can be set =
anywhere from =E2=80=9Cnot quite right=E2=80=9D to =E2=80=9Ctotally =
wrong=E2=80=9D.
* Despite the above, a weekend working on the MG carburetors is =
preferable to fixing the oil leak.
