Proper SU carburetor choke operation for classic British car owners

Every week, we get questions from customers asking about why their Bugeye won't start. Oftentimes it's as simple as pulling the choke a little farther! Here's how to properly apply the choke on your Bugeye Sprite, which is also applicable to MGBs, Morris Minors and any other SU carb equipped classic cars!

thank you so much for explaining the starting of the engine, i have an Austin A30 and i wasnt pulling out the choke to the second stage, used it this morning and fired up first time! so pleased.

Great informative videos, David! Given that many shops would likely not touch these little cars. It’s really up to the owners to be able to do the more simple repair work. Your videos provide that information. 👍

Great video, issue I'm having is when I pull on the choke fully, the jet on my hs4 is only lowering approx 4 or 5 mm. Any advice is greatly appreciated
