Maintaining your SU Carb

My new engine will use the carb that was on the Metro, a HIF 44, I've already brought a service kit so I plan to overhaul it myself. I've been looking for a supplier of bits for SU carbs for a while and I just found one.

Burlen Fuel Systems http://www.burlen.co.uk/ are a one stop shop for all your SU carb needs. They seem to have spares for all the SU carbs and can fully restore your carb to concourse condition. You can even buy brand new carbs if your wallet is deep enough.

This blog will follow my efforts at keeping two 1987 minis on the road. I am not a mechanic and I have limited facilities and money to spend. Hopefully it will be an interesting project!

Hi there, I'm married to Tracy and have two lovely daughters called Callie and Lexie. I work as a programer mainly using .Net technologies. My playtime techy interests include learning ruby, programming Pic microcontrollers and getting my head round Linux on the NSLU2. When I'm not at the computer I've two 1987 mini mayfairs which I'm trying to get back on the road and I spend time in my shed bashing bits of wood around.
