- The downdraft Weber was looking pretty attractive because of what I have read about the need to maintain and occasionally rebuild the SU's, but the power tuning book doesn't even mention the downdraf

- I do not know why SU's get such a bad reputation. Possibly because they don't *look* like an American carburetor? The SU type carb is essentially the same as the CD (Constant Depression) type carbs u

- You have to get very honest about what you are trying to do. The Weber Down Draught is a cost effective replacement for the original carburetor. Make sure you also budget to replace the exhaust mani

- The only advantage of using a Weber for street MGs is that you can say "I have a Weber on mine". Those in the know will smile inwardly and mouth "Stupid bugger". Unless you are into hot motors stick
