Yep, it's still got it's original SU's. Dashpots are topped up. One piston was hanging up causing a funky idle. I cleaned all of the gunk off of it and it now appears to be working correctly. I checked for vacuum leaks, but maybe not hard enough. I'll have another look. I did synch the carbs using a synch tool. The throttle shafts don't move much if at all in their bores. I didn't try spraying around the shafts to see if their leaking, but I will. I have a lot of experience with downdraft Webers and those carbs would get their jets plugged with a sneeze. When I got this car, it didn't have a fuel filter on it. My thoughts were that maybe some crap had partially plugged some jets in the carbs. I have little to no experience with these carbs. Any thoughts?
