Hello all,

       SU needles can be ordered from Burlen Fuel Systems in England. They
purchased the rights to the British SU carbs and supply full support. The
web
site is <A HREF="www.burlen.co.uk">www.burlen.co.uk</A>   .   Some of the
needles I have gotten, like the ADQ
for the 1600 are not normally available here. Call them up with a credit
card
and they will send any of the needles. Unless they get hung up in customs
you
should have them in a week or two.
       One thing I found is that "almost right" is not nearly as good as
"right". Also, some of the needles are intended to be spring loaded and have
a
little cap on the end of the needle that keeps you from installing it in our
carbs. Not to worry, it is easy to remove.
