The need to be in some sort of computerised form - I'll let you input all the needles Jim!
-
I concede to superior experience - I just never had a problem with my SUs running them over 15k or so... It still seems to be SUs are easier to tune with regards random needles and modifications. I was in talks with Burlen a couple of weeks back as they wanted me to make them a bespoke SU-needle-comparer-thingy - don't know if anything will happen from it - but perhaps I can suggest it to include Stromberg needles too...
-
On both my 1500 and my Mk3 the SUs never went out of tune... if they go out of tune that quickly then there is something wrong with them... The reason they are the choice for sports cars is because of the needle selection and the number of people able to tune them properly... if people are building modded motors you're not going to go for a carb that isn't flexible enough to do what you want.
-
There's only more documentation on them because they were used on more cars - and more needles means more choice when it comes to tuning them. They're fine if you have a totally stock car - but not so if you want to mod it. Also more people tune SUs so know what they're doing. SU's don't go out of tune any more than a Strombergs... and the spindles don't wear quickly - it's just most sets are knackered by now and need redoing. There are arguments for both...!

Check your float levels etc - and adjust accordingly - that is what allows you to adjust fuel level in the bowls.

Yes Daws - no more sitting in the back whilst I chauffeur you around!
