Hello list, I have 2 SU carbs that I am going to post on e-bay next week, but I thought I would give the list a chance first. The first carb is an SU HIF 44. It was remanufactured about 1 year ago by

The one thing to note about the '69 carbs is that the vacuum advance is "ported" (may be so on other models, but that is the only year I am familiar with.) At idle, there is no vacuum advance (the h

IMO, the _only_ place to buy carb bits. For SU, anyway. And I recommend getting the Reference Catalogue and Workshop Manual. For about 15pounds the pair, it is a real bargain. http://www.Burlen.co.uk

I also purchased my HS4 Rebuild kits and non-waxstat conversion from these guys. I also highly recommend the Workshop manual, It explained so much and saved a lot of time.
