July 9, 20195 yr comment_579279 You can push the stock N47 deeper into the piston to enrich the whole range: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61679-sb-needles-to-resolve-lean-wot-with-sus/?&page=6#findComment-579279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 11, 20195 yr comment_579368 Forgive my ignorance - I have to ask to learn: how does pushing the needles up differ from dropping the jets? With my limited knowledge, I would have said that it’s changing the annulus area akin to winding down the jets, but is there something special going on when you move needles instead of jets?

July 11, 20195 yr comment_579373 The ring annulus change is the same whether you drop jet or raise needle. The location of the annulus from the carb throat where the venturi pulls fuel through it, and from the top of the fuel differs. It will probably be the same effect as you point out.

July 11, 20195 yr comment_579397 I am new and learning how to decipher the postings. When someone says SU, most of the time they mean SU-H (roundtops) Not SU-HIF (flattops) with Integrated Float, also the flattops have a "Anti-stall fuel rich mechanism" that keeps this from being a problem.

July 19, 20195 yr comment_579901 Bump on this thread.... Wanted to let you all know I have extra sets of "SB" (2 sets) and "SM" (1 set) needles. They were too rich for my L24 config so am selling at a good price for anyone who uses them. I am currently using "SL" Needles with very good results... as it's close to the N-27 stock needles. Many thanks...... Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61679-sb-needles-to-resolve-lean-wot-with-sus/?&page=6#findComment-579901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
