Do we know what year this car is? Which SUs or Stromberg?
If you have the charcoal canister then it's possible for that to get =
choked, and there is plenty of pipe-work to get blocked and cause =
problems as well.
If you are talking about the float valve there should be a sprung metal =
pin at the bottom that the float lever bears on. The tip was originally =
brass and conical going into a circular chamfered seat, later changed to =
Viton which is typically black or red, but still conical, see here =
http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/fvalve.htm#1 My manuals don't show what you =
describe, but Moss Europe for the HIF does seem to show the moving part =
of the valve upside down relative to the float, but the HS is the right =
way up. It's not possible to tell from the US Moss site which way up =
they are in either HS or HIF. That's not to say that someone hasn't =
installed a really rubbish copy.

Well, I took an air compressor to the bottom end of the tub and =
couldn't get any air through the tube.

As to the valve: the manual and I think Moss show the rubber down =
which hits the lever, leaving the brass to close against the valve hole =
at the top.
