Subject: Re: Needles for 2" SU carbs
Hi David
They're off a post war Daimler 4.5ltr, not sure which but they're HD8's with manual chokes so they look pre-war.
I've got the SU book but a different types were fitted, with different needles and jets.
Whilst the engine size is the same, I wonder if the Daimler might be higher reving ! Than the 4000 rpm LG6.
If we can get it running reasonably well, we'll get it on a test rig to optimise the settings, but any help would be welcome to get a first set up.
Regards
Peter
