My father was working on the carbs on my TD today, (as I'm not at home these days) and he ran into something that he hadn't seen before, (he owned a TD for 30 years) so I though I'd pass it on to th

Hi Scott, As a newcomer to this list, I may be speaking out of turn, and I'm interested in what others know about the pin you referred to, but as a mechanic for some years since the 1970's (no longer

Hi Terry, Problem is the pin does not go through the carb body. It is inaccessible when the carb is fully assembled, nor is there a slot or hole for it to go in so it can fit flush. Perhaps the pisto

Get hold of a TD carb diagram and compare against that. Something is assembled incorrectly or, as you say, mismatched. I Have the original SU service manuals and could, in a few days when I get my s

As I re-read your original post and the various replies and suggestions, I believe most everyone mis-read what you actually wrote. You described a piston with a spring loaded pin in it, not a carb b

Some SU pistons have that spring-loaded pin, some don't. It's purpose is to soften the blow of the piston on the jet bridge, but I've never understood why it was thought to be necessary. The piston a

I know, that you know, that the pistons in our SU's are not lifted by "the incoming air flow", but by the vacuum created by the engine itself. Cheers, "Lurker Bob". /// unsubscribe/change address re

Sheesh, Bob, I thought everyone knew the incoming airflow heads in the direction it goes because the engine vacuum provides the initial stimulus and subsequent encouragement to that effect. Wanna spl

We can expect nothing less than a bunch of split hairs when we are listening to a couple of over-the-hill Brits such as the two of you. Lawrie: Does your comment mean that you are actually going to s

Hi folks, This spring-loaded pin sounded familiar. I just checked the H2's in my 52TD and found that both pistons have the bras spring-loaded pins. I also checked the pistons of another (basket case)

Thanks for those pictures and the clarification from all who took a whack at Scott's question. I've been educated! Next question for the list: I have been looking for a TD as a driver or "light" pro
