       And how many times mechanics have said "darn pieces of junk just won't 
work right, get a Webber and put on it." SUs are fine carbs but they are 
different with their own querks. It's not too unusual for me to find domes and 
pistons that have been marked by a PO or PM (previous mechanic) to help keep 
them 
straight.
