Random B18 engine anomalies 140-160 1968

It's possible that the jets are not SU original, or that the large nut that retains the jet bearing is loose and the entire assembly is turning.
Level the jets with the bridge and lower them equally to 10-12 flats. Check needle height in the pistons. Check float levels. If you are positioning the needles pull them out and check the letter code stamped on the shank. I've seen all kinds of incorrect needles installed in these carbs over the years.
