[Mgs] HS4 Carb roadside repair bag

e-mail signatureI'd say you don't need anything else, in fact you don't really need float cover gaskets!  The only other thing you might just possibly need on the road are spare jets in case the flex pipe between float chamber and jet starts leaking, but that is very very rare.  Even then you can carry on by disconnecting and plugging the fuel supply to that carb to have a 'limp' mode, it all depends how far you could be from obtaining a spare in a 'long' or remote trip.  If they are sound and set up correctly to begin with SU carbs are very reliable, hence the adage '90% of SU carb problems are caused by Lucas ignition'.

  I bought an MGA with twin SU HS4 carbs.  For long road trips, what spares should be packed in the boot to deal with the most common roadside repairs / problems with these carbs (besides float bowl cover gaskets and replacement float needles and seats?
