Hi Dave,
Having used the MG workshop manual alone, I'd say that's sufficient for
an ordinary rebuild/replacement of wear parts. If the shaft is worn,
that's machine-shop work.
I got the video tape. It's interesting but not at all necessary. Your
MG club may have one in its library. You will only watch it a couple of
times.
SUs are, IMHO, not quirky. I'll play with a single-jet, one or two
moving parts carb anytime in preference to a 227 part Rochester with
progressive linkage. Someone who can't figure out the SU may have
started the "quirky" excuse, but it's just not true. You can do it.
