Great video, very well explained. Your video help me correctly tune the SU carbs on my 53 MGTD.

I can't believe I found a good video that starts out with EXACTLY the issue I am having on the 67 MGB I got. Will NOT start when cold. At all. Does just fine with starter fluid, though. I can not wait to dig into the carbs with your help now!!!

After tuning my carbs based on your video my Spitfire turned into a rocket. Thanks Man!

Love your video. I had my first car when I was 12 years old (1972), it was a 1964 MG Midget Mark 11 with an 1100 CC engine. It is all of the same as my car. I wish I could have had this video way back when. Love that car when it run :-) Thanks for the knowledge.

I have always wanted to try and run the su carbs on my 1.6 kent, 2.0 and 2.3 ford pinto motors.just for the experience of it

Excellent video, dude! Your step by step concise instructions will now make it possible to correctly setup and tune my 1960 Bugeye Sprite! Cheers

I couldn’t help myself. But watch. As I’m in the cleaning stages of my hs2 carbs for my triumph herald, Thank you for the info and taking the time to share with us. Like£ and subscribed for more.

Would have been nice to know all this stuff 50 years ago when I had my TR-3. I did keep a piece of hose in the drivers door to adjust the carbs once in awhile. Very informative video.

Great, very comprehensive video. Step by step logical process and well explained. John Twist watch out! I am going to send him a spanner to fit the jet nut, to save him using that adjustable!!! (also an MGTD owner, 1951)

Thanks for posting this. Many videos on SU's out there, but this is the only one I found that covers initial setup followed by tuning after a total rebuild. Your carbs are very similar to the H6's on my '120 Jags so I've taken step-by-step notes that I'll be referring to at initial start-up. Thanks.

Aup mate just want to say thank you for this video. I've got a 1975 spitfire 1500 with twin SU carbs. I've been having some right bother with it not running right. I've already been through the timing and used a gunson colour tune to adjust the fuel to air ratio and got it somthing like but I wasn't happy. I've loosened every linkage on the carbs taken throttle and choke off followed your guide and the car runs better than ever 👍

[frankmummolo]

Brilliant piece of work. You make it look easy! Thank you!

[donwaldorf]

Thanks for putting this video together... used the info to tune up the Triumph TR3....

[nessviggo]

Thanks for this video, I knew the info already, but couldn’t get my carbs to what they’re supposed to, but seeing it done and the order you did and some of the things you said made the bulb over my head go off.😄

[rjshope]

Excellent step by step. Going to recheck my recently overhauled MGA carbs.

[phildavey]

Great, excellent bit of information. I'm sure now we can get the 1275 mini singing a lot sweeter.
