Assuming it's a single SU - Burlen every time.

I'd only use Rimmers as a last resort if all the other suppliers/clubs can't help.

Don’t know where you are but there are a couple of carburettor refurbishers I can recommend,  Alan Fielding at carb care in Lichfield Staffordshire 01543 305160. Or Andrew Turner at Turner Carbs in Colsterworth, Lincolnshire 01476 660555 hope this may help

Agree with Wendy, Alan at Carb Care is about as good as it gets. Did a great job on my Twin HS4’s

Burlen are the main UK spares distributor for SU and Stromberg Carbs (& Amal Motorcycle carbs too), much better stock than Rimmers and most of the other Triumph specialists, plus of course you'll nearly always pay extra at Rimmers.  Also they are the real experts if you need advice and always helpful.  https://burlen.co.uk/

Burlen also do reconditioning.

I had a pair of Strombergs done for my Vitesse. Excellent refurbished bodies properly cleaned. They bushed the spindles to stop an air leak.

Burlen now sell SU floats that are adjustable, comes with a note explaining how to set!
