    Great video one of the most straight forward explanations of the SU carb set up I have seen. Great presentation and enjoyed listening to your thought process/diagnosis. Thanks for taking the time to film it.

    I’ve got SU 4s I always and have for years set the mixture using a Gunson colortune or better one for each carb shows exactly what the mixture is showing when burning

      Yes that would be ideal! Id love to get an oldskool meter for the emissions. For now i have a well trained large nose 🤣🤣

      Technically yes when starting from scratch but the adjustment was so minimal it didnt affect the engagement of the throttle arms and resulted in them moving simultaneously 👍👍

    You really need to check the ignition system over before moving on to the carbs

      The car was running fine-ish before the customer messed with the carbs, hence starting with the fuel side of things. Drove out the shop a happy customer!

      Yeah they certainly aint the best sounding engines, maybe the audio makes it sound a little more rough but most of the time they sound rather primitive 🤣

    Never seen such a bad video? If a car doesn't run well (and that one didn't) you go through the job in sequence, why waste time establishing there was no fuel in the car after trying to tune the carbs? All the repetitive work!!!! Blow the carbs out with air, dont just poke about and stir up the sediment, what about the sediment sat in the tube? Sorry mate you wouldn't be doing my work.

      Poor diagnostic sequence. Description nomenclature inaccurate. Not fluent with systems analysis.
