...then I will be a liar, GLADLY!

...WOW, three whole months without adjustment...NONE of the SUs on ANY of my vehicles have needed "adjustment" in TEN YEARS! ...sorry, I lied...I just wore out, and had to replace a throttle return spring on the Snow Weasel.

I have to admit, about 30 years ago, I too was pretty intimidated by them, and would ask my friend "the expert" to make any and all adjustments - even idle...then he moved away, and I edumacated myself about them...one of best things I ever did (now I do idle adjustments myself)...and learning about them didn't even take so long...what, with a total of about four moving parts...the elegance is in the way they got just those few moving parts to do the job perfectly that's really impressive, and clearly one of the few things the British got right (cause it doesn't have anything to do with electricity, I guess!).

...maybe you were one of the many who had some bad experiences with SUs, and didn't want to take a little time to understand them...too bad...you don't know what you're missing, but: To each his own!

Cheers
