SU carburetors got you down?  Does it seem like everyone you ask for help says, "Those carbs are junk."  If that's you, read on:

One of the most complete descriptions of the SU carb available on the internet.
Tech Tip #6

Such an excellent page I was afraid it might disappear, so it's copied here. This is complete with diagrams, and troubleshooting charts. Although written for a Datsun, it still applies to any SU carburetor installation.

Software for Needle Selection

su.gif (4578 bytes)

Teglerizer's own searchable database for selecting and comparing SU needles. 0.090" and 0.100" needle databases are now on line. 0.125" coming soon (hopefully)

And here's the latest Javascript based
sortable 0.090" table.
It will say the script
is taking too long to execute, but go ahead and let it run. It will sort the table by station.

Other software for finding tapers

1.  We can't forget the original DOS based SUNeedle.exe program for profile selection. 2.  Scott Beavis has written a very nice Windows version of this old classic.
3.  W. Konrad Crist, most recent revision of his MS Excel spreadsheet that will plot the tapers as well, compare 3 or more needles at a time, and graphically plot them in comparison. Both windows and Mac version are available.
4. < New >An Excellent   5 needle comparion charting program by  James Carruthers. This one is PHP webpage based.
