Remember this thing?



I've just gone and bought one of these:



HIF44.

I've also bought a "red" spring, I just need to find a "BDK" or "BDL" (depending on who you talk to) needle. Anyone know where I can get SU needles?

Gonna try to have that fitted before Sunday, so we can just get on with things. Having the right carb and the right spring/needle should make tuning the vehicle much, much easier. I hope!

*EDIT* Found a website that has the needles:

Burlen, think it's sucarb.Co.uk

Fairly sure they still do all parts for the SU carbs.

Yes, I've found the 2 needles that I've seen recommended on their website - I'm trying to find out what needle is in the SU I've bought, and if it's not the right needle I'll get a BDL or BDK.

Hopefully that and the colortune will sort my emissions issues.

I'm thinking that since the carb I have seems to be rare, I'll probably recondition it (it actually was nice and shiny and new looking when I fitted it) and ebay it off - assuming I can work out what the heck it is!!!

If it's rare, I might be able to get the money I paid for the 44 back.

Need to figure out what it is and what it was commonly fitted to.

I've sent a pic of it to Burlen, asking if they know what it is. We'll see if they get back to me.

It looks like an Hitachi carb to me.

A quick google for hitachi carb finds this:

That does look very, *very* similar to me! Thanks, Rhinoman! I'll look at that properly later, and see if I can identify my carb.

Maybe time to ask on a nissan/datsun forum...?
