...what did you use to center the main jet body?
there are alignment tools that you place in the needle mount that sticks
down into the jet so when you tighten the nut the jet guide tube is centered
in the body.

Subject: [TR] Problems with my SU HS-6 carburetor(s)
Hi List,
Well, I thought I was well on my way to finishing up the rebuild of my two
SU
HS-6 carburetors on my TR4A IRS when I received the new SM needles..
I switched out the needle on the rear carburetor and no problems. I
removed
the needle from the front carburetor piston and when I laid it down next
to
the old one from the rear carburetor, In noticed it was about a quarter of
an
inch shorter than the rear one!! It got worse when I installed the new SM
needle in the front carburetor piston and then dropped the piston back
into
the front carburetor and it stuck about 3/4 of the way down. I didn't want
to
force it down so off came the carburetors again.. I posted some pictures
on my
website in the carburetor rebuild page but the long and short of it is
that it
seems the needle is not centered in the hole for the main jet! I am not
sure
what to try next. I think in the morning I will try and put a square next
to
the needle in the piston and see if the hole is perpendicular to the base
of
the piston. The needles are brand new and look straight.
If there is anybody out there that has rebuilt HS-6 carburetors, please
take a
look at the pictures on my website and see what you think. If you need
more
pictures let me know.
The website is http://home.fuse.net/davestr4a In the nav panel go to
Check my
Progress and click on the HS-6 link at the top. Scoll down to the bottom
for
the pictures of the needles and main jet holes.
Thanks,
Dave Connitt
