Posted June 27, 200717 yr comment_213448 I found this article on the web, and figured I would post it on this forum to help out all the guys running su carbs. It helped me out a lot. http://www.sonic.net/~kyle/su.html Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/24724-how-to-tune-your-sus/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 27, 200717 yr comment_213471 Basic and to the point but it leaves out the linkage adjustment entirely. Linkage adjustment is also critical for true balance from idle to top rpm.

June 28, 200717 yr comment_213547 So what's wrong with my SU settings when the back one misfires? Is it timing, mixture, both, or neither? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/24724-how-to-tune-your-sus/#findComment-213547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 28, 200717 yr comment_213570 That artical ignores the very first important step of float bowl level adjustment. Remember the float bowl level is the gross mixture adjustment, followed by the jet level which is the fine adjustment. I've help many who have comto me following guides like the one above and said "It's still lean with the jet already lowered" Reason? - His bowl level was too low.

December 27, 200717 yr comment_232200 I got this rule of thumb for SU carb float level adjustment....Use a 1/2 inch drill bit for a gauge... A sloppy fit on the drill should do okZdisease Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/24724-how-to-tune-your-sus/#findComment-232200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 28, 200717 yr comment_232214 Backfire issue is definitly float bowl adjustment. The 1/2 drill bit works but make sure there is a hair line crack between the float and bit in making the adjustment. Straight from the mouth of Steve at ZTherapy. It worked for me.
