[TR] HS2's /needles/springs

[wbeech]

Harve,

According to the SU Tuning Guide from SpeedSport the "AN" needle is the
standard needle and your springs should be Red.  This would be a good place
to start given your modifications and work from there.  

Due to the age of the book this listing is for Spits up to 1964 with the HS2
carb.  I can forward the PDF to you if you like, it has some handy tuning
and re-building tips.

Subject: [TR] HS2's /needles/springs

I have a US 1500 1978 Triumph Spitfire with HS2's (tagged AUC9831 & AUC9831R
- handmarked on the top AUD9253 & AUD9256) I use K&N filters and a 4-2-1
exhaust manifold. I am using AN needles. I have no idea what springs are in
place. 

My questions: 

1) Is the AN needle okay for street use? 
2) What springs do I need, and how do I tell what I have? 

tks. harve
