The modules are the same, the only difference is in the hardware that goes under the cap. The chopper wheel is a plastic disc that slips onto the distributor shaft, and has cuts in it that are read

Some North American 1300cc spitfires had twin SU-HS2 carbs. While this work on the 1500 and might be better than the original Zenith, it's not the correct UK spec. The correct twin SU setup is a pair

Change to the larger size spool holder. It changes the spool center section completely. Although it still might go the same way, it's a whole different "thing" and much larger, easier to seperate spi

For oil, I like Valvoline 20w50. The brand isn't too important, just as long as it's 20w50. As for the engine, I have to use high octane gas in my 75 Midget or it runs on after I turn the key, and pi

In a word, more or less none. The problem you are likely to see is that any Triumph dual SU manifolds you will find around are for dual HS2s, not dual HS4s like the Midget should be. I have seen a lo

I think we are talking spitfires here though. The Spitfire 1300 had dual SU HS-2s in North America in the early 70s. These manifolds are possible to find around, and they work well enough with a 1500

Try the bubble test. If the leak is in the cracks, not easy to fix. Anywhere else, a good tire shop can fix. I had a lot of problem getting the tires to seat on my Rostyle beads, probably from accumu

I would suspect that you have grounded out the points. This is not hard to do, because there are a few styles of points, and they insulate that arm differently. In other words, if you take the old on

Not necessarily, remember that pulling the choke also moves the throttle stop to raise the idle a bit. So you are also not "overrunning" as much, you are only partially releasing the throttle if the

If your car has a PCV, having a vented cap indeed does make no sense. The carb would just suck air through the vent cap, through the engine, and into the cylinders. Can't make that nice oil-holding v
