The carbs I have on hand have the most common, and perhaps the correct piston rod AUC8112. Also found AUC8114. My factory 3000/BJ8 parts book covering the HD8 carbs has conveniently disappeared for the moment so I can not verify what part the factory called for. The weight of the piston body (very small weight at the end of the damper rod) should not have a bearing on the operation as it can only move vertically 1/16 inch and is otherwise fixed in place. I checked the diameter of the piston body on several and they all appear to be the same. The diameter would seem to be much more important for proper carb operation.
I had asked the SU dealer in England for guidance for use of the different numbered parts but have not heard back, thus this convoluted email to the list.

>From the various responses I received it seems that AUC8112 is the correct damper for the HD8s. The main difference between the dampers that I can observe appears to be the size of the very small weight at the end of the damper rod.

I have 3 sets of HD8 carburetors all with different dashpot dampers. AUC8112, AUC8114 and AUC8115. What is the correct damper for a BJ8?
