Subject: SU carburettor float levels
I was changing the old cork seals in my V12 carburettors. When having the carbs on the table I was thinking about the two different heights of the float chambers. The one with the starting enrichment is higher than the other one (more than 1/2"). But in instruction manuals you read how to set the forks very precisely so that the level is always the same relativ to the top of the float lid.
Is this height difference neglegible or should the forks be set differently ? Or is the lower float chamber not the correct one?
