[Shop-talk] Odd tool in a pouch

[Jack Brooks]

Eric, that is good to know.

I fuel injected (Megasquirt) my 1980 Triumph TR8, using a later Rover intake manifold.  I have a Honda 600F motorcycle intake that needs a small spacer to line up with all four of my 1960 TR3’s ports and intake valves if I ever get to fuel injecting it.  Knowing there is something out there to sync four butterflies is good to know!

Thank you Eric!

Jack

I also have an SK Synchrometer (accurate air flow meter) to balance the four carbs on my motorcycle. After using the SU Tool Kit I have checked the balance with the synchrometer and found it to be spot on.

Thank you Eric, Pat and Dave,

I do have SU’s on my  1960 Triumph TR3A and I do have both jet adjusting wrenches for them. I’ve used the floating ball vacuum device in the past, but will try these next time.  It seems like it could be easier.  It’s been a long time since I’ve balanced the carbs. They are due for some work as they are relocating (with my wife, myself our TR3 and TR8) from 400 feet to 6,600 feet in the next month or so.  We are relocating from Seattle-ish, WA to Park City-ish, Utah.

Eric, nice link to learn how to use them!!

Anyone with The British Motor Club of Utah, I’ve already joined and please feel free to reach out.

Thanks gentlemen.  These lightning quick responses are greatly appreciated.

Jack

SU Carburetter Tool Kit. Very useful tool (if you have SU carbs). Appears to be missing the jet adjusting wrench (not a vital part).

I was going through some tools in my shop and came across a small pouch with an odd collection of pipes and pins, but I have no idea what it is for.  The pipes are about 5 inches in length. One picture in the pouch and one fully laid out.  Yes, the tubes do assemble.

Does anyone recognize this tool?
