I generally like Ant Anstead--still preferred Edd, though--but when he
called SUs 'rubbish' I almost threw my remote at the big screen. Even a
pro like Edd had to bring in a specialist to tune the Webers on a Lambo.
SUs are a simple, elegant design; compared to them fixed-choke carbs
with their multiple jets, accelerator pumps--a common failure point--are
a kludge. Both share common float valve/bowl issues.

<p>Webers or DellOrtos are so much easier to maintain than
