Re: SU Help

As far as I know, the jet sizes only differed by carb size, and are not interchangable. Well, perhaps they are for extreme tuning but I don't think they were intended to be, HIF44/6 should always be .1" Changing the needle shouldn't change the idle, since the idle portion of the needles is virt...

Re: SU Help

Cheers for that Nick. Yup its the .1 Jet so should be correct with BFM needle. Originally had from memory a BCP needle don.t know where its gone haha. Was brought for a Land Rover V8 (twin HIF's) so assume it would've been set up for the originally. Still yet to get out and solder the butterfly up s...

Re: The 3VIL-Zook

Yeah its not too bad, as I mentioned it spent a good few tears buried in BlackBerry, the underside that would usually be the worst is only surface, I think as it was facing the sun to dry it out, the roof is the worst. Parts havnt been too bad so far, I've found buying more than I need and selling t...

The 3VIL-Zook

So since I'm a regular reader on here I thought I might as well put my build thread here for anyone interested in having a look. Unfortunately most of the SJ's down this end of the world ended up rusting away in farmers sheds, mine spent a good portion of the last few years upside down in some black...

Re: SU Help

Ok so got chance to at least test a new return into a spare fuel container, idles a bit better but still high, but most importantly no fuel out the overflow, so thats a good start. Next to work on the idle. If logic serves me correctly, the SU has no bypass for air at idle, so with the idle screw wo...

Re: SU Help

Id say I'd be one of the few other than kiwizook running one here too. My theory completely based on my own common sense is that running the SJ head on the G16 block (which is a whole different arguement altogether, I know it wont have any top end due to smaller valves and gains nothing but it was c...

Re: SU Help

Thanks for that twiss. Should've mentioned, its not the original tank, Its a fuel cell in the back, well actually one of those portable boat tanks, quite common on offroad only trucks over here. The tank has a vent hose from the cap so no pressure build up in the tank itself. It has to be withing th...

Re: SU Help

It seemed ok with the tank disconnected, maybe just didnt run it long enough tho (havnt got fan hooked up yet so cant let it idle for too longer time). When I blow down the line with the compressor with the tank disconnected I can feel the hose expand in my hand so probably partially blocked somewhe...

Re: SU Help

After reading a lot more about these overrun valves (aside from the fact too much fuel is obviously being forced in) the main reason people removed them or soldered them shut was high climbing idle and slow deceleration when the valves spring became weak particularly with the engine warm, which seem...
