[TR] TR2/3 SU Carbs

[Angelo Graham]

Hello List:
Need some of the collective wisdom of the List on this one. I have H4 SU 
carbs on my '2 and struggling with the common problems: leaking from the 
jet bodies, float levels, excessive richness, stiff choke actuation, 
etc. I installed kits in the winter & checked the throttle shafts and 
they were surprisingly a good fit.
I am contemplating having the carbs 'professionally' rebuilt to correct 
some of these issues and forking out the 4-5 hundred for the job. But 
before I commit, I am wondering if these early SU's can really be 
'fixed'. Given the design of the exposed jet SU can they really be made 
to be leak free? Even after a professional rebuild, will these carbs be 
good running and relatively leak free?
Just getting tired of the constant smell of gas in the shop and 
struggling with the carbs.
Thanks for any insight and advice on this one.
