SU/Stromberg equivalent needles 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Feled on  Sat Feb 16 19:09 CST 2008 [RELATED]

I had Stromberg CD 175 carbs on my 142S the head of which has double valve springs and what appear to be smoothed ports.
The needles in the Strombergs are B1BL's.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the equivalent SU needle might be to the B1BL.
I ask because the engine does not run as well on the HS6 carburettor's KN's I am currently using.
Thanks for your assistance.
