Hi Folks
The leaky bucket fans out there might be interested in these
http://www.mod-sales.com/auction/vehicl ... ettors.htm
There are likely to be very few of these in this condition in the future so could be of interest to someone.
Best regards
Mike

Hi Tom
I did think of you, you only need 4 don't you, if you got them for £650 held onto 4 and sold off 2 at £300 the pair then you would have trouble free SU carburation for £350. By you have bought 6 or 8 used SUs, selected the best bits, bought 4 overhaul kits and soda blasted them you won't have alot of change out of £350 and they will still be Bitsas.
Best regards
Mike

Horrible diaphragmous things! ( Think I've made that word up)
I'd rather have a leaky bucket or better still, twin leaky buckets.

They certainly are and are the next best thing to FI as far as metering and fuel atomisation are concerned
