[Healeys] carb damper

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

Hello

The 1 ½ SUs fitted to our 1948 Healey Duncan have Bakelite caps and are not fitted with dampers. However the pistons are made from steel and are very heavy.

They are the standard SUs fitted to the first real Healeys.

I would put brass caps on all SUs even if they didn’t come with them. They look great and should last forever!

Yep, as others have suggested, the damper has blown through the cap.  I'm sure your TC hiccups if you press the gas too hard.

The TC would have a damper with a brass cap, best to get one of those.

ran into something have not seen before.  cleaning the carbs on an MGTC and discovered there is no damper.  there is a plastic cap and a 3/16 hole approx 1/4 inch deep in top of piston rod.  Moss shows a damper and so does the workshop manual.  any ideas what i have here?
