I've got a pair of SU's for my 73 Midget that I'm hoping to rebuild.
I'm not the least bit familiar with SU carbs other than having browsed
several guides found online about the operation and maintenance of
them.
I've begun cleaning / disassembling the carbs but the pistons are
stuck in the suction chambers. I've also attempted to unscrew and
remove the piston dampers from the top of the chambers and, while the
knob on top will unscrew, the damper will not come out the top either
(it should; shouldn't it?).
I've tried soaking one of them in a parts cleaner for several days now
with no apparent progress. Any suggestions / recommendations on how
to get these apart?
