Rychu Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Hi,I'm thinking of getting my carbs overhauled but can anyone give me an idea of cost?I've seen a few on eBay for approx. £350-£400 but I don't think those required exchange parts?Also could anyone recommend a rolling road tuners not too far from Basingstoke?TIARichard(Currently enjoying a nice cold drink watching the rugby on tv after a dirty sweaty morning replacing suspension bushes) 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver clasper Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 HiDon't know what carbs you have.It's a pretty easy DIY thing on pre emmision Strombergs (don't know about others) as long as the bodies aren't worn where the spindles go through). The only fiddley bit as I remember is separating the connecting rod ball joint things (tapping out one of the rolled steel pins). Not sure if the ball joints are available new, if yours are shot.Buck Eye Triumph have in depth re build info, on the net. If you don't want to DIY, then carb specialists will re build, maybe cheaper than that E bay price (I would imagine they are refurbs).Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedTaylor Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Just checked the invoice by Andrew Turner Carb Specialist for the SUs on Woodie when done for the previous owner (does other carbs as well).Superb job and cost £225 in 2010MUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodders1 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Quoted from Rychu Also could anyone recommend a rolling road tuners not too far from Basingstoke? Give Neil Slark a call. Really nice guy. ...and you get to drive home along the A303 and try out your new tuning set up http://www.slarkraceengineering.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodders1 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hi RichardI took my Spitfire to SRE to get the twin Dellortos set up. I was very impressed with Neil's thoroughness, and his patience in explaining each test/adjustment as he went along.The drive home was fun - especially in accelleration with the accellerator pumps and carb balance correctly adjusted cheersbodders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
