Hi all, I've got a problem with my SU carbies on my rover. The little pipe coming from the bottom of the external float chambers leaks fuel everywhere, so i need to rebuild it. Who knows a place where i can get a rebuild kit/the parts required to fix this? (Sydney)..
Thanks

Repco, Autobarn, AutoPro etc sell the Oz made Fuel Miser kit p/no SU-750.
Fits HS2 and HS4.
You need 1 per carb.
You get gaskets, float needle valve and its seat, a new main jet and jet hose.

What you need are the little o rings that seal the needle & seat into the float bowl, if you can't do it yourself PM me & i'll put you onto a man who knows more about Su's thatn anyone.

Yes yes - the Australian agents for SU are Midel and it's in Sydney

Dont have the details in front of me - do a www.whitepages.com.au search or wait until someone give the details

Very helpful people they are - Midel - that is.

I had a problem with the Fuel Miser kit about two years ago. The hose from the float chamber to the jet died after a couple of months use.
I had to fill the tank with E10 (no option) and the hose died within a week. It went dry and crumbly.
I contacted Fuel Miser about the hose and after a couple of weeks their technical bloke got back to me and said that the hose was tested ok for all fuels except E10 and Premium. :lol:

That's good to know, I wonder what fuel they recommend then? Shell A?:lol:

I better keep an eye on mine then, as it's running 98.
