I saw this on Facebook. It was written about SU=E2=80=99s on MG=E2=80=99s. =
SU=E2=80=99s on Triumphs never suffer from any of this which is why Triumph=
s are superior to MG=E2=80=99s.
=C2=A0
Let the flames=C2=A0 begin.

SU CARBURETORS! These are SU carburetors, which were used on many British s=
ports cars, such as this MG. Here are some guidelines on maintaining SUs!
* If your carburetors don=E2=80=99t leak, you are out of gas. (This rule is=
similar to the =E2=80=9CMG test for oil=E2=80=9D).
* The only time your carburetors run properly is when a mechanic is taking =
a test drive.
* SU carburetors parts are interchangeable. You can replace a faulty part w=
ith a new one and the carburetor will run just like it always did.
* When replacing needles, the only parts store with the correct ones will b=
e in Coventry or on a ship floundering in an Atlantic storm.
* When you get the correct carburetor needles, one of them will be bent.
* The universal SU repair Kit will work on all carburetors except yours.
* A float will only have a hole in it if it is Sunday and the parts store i=
s closed.
* No two repair books will recommend the same fluid for the dampers.
* Whitworth nuts and bolts are similar to SAE nuts and bolts except that th=
e shoulders are rounded off.
* Tightening the jet nut will automatically move the jet off center.
* All levers and jets will move smoothly if (and only if) the carburetor is=
sitting on the kitchen table.
* MG carburetors are infinitely adjustable. That is they can be set anywher=
e from =E2=80=9Cnot quite right=E2=80=9D to =E2=80=9Ctotally wrong=E2=80=9D=
.
* Despite the above, a weekend working on the MG carburetors is preferable =
to fixing the oil leak.
