s.u inlet manifold

Ok Tim thanks for that, so it's just the different types of carb, I don't know what carb Lulu has but no doubt you will be able to tell by looking at the pictures that I've been posting from Woolfy.
I suppose it shows my knowledge of mechanics but then it's everyman to his own trade and I was a brilliant fireman which isn't much good when you buy a classic vehicle. The best I can do is use a wanner grease gun and even that now I would be struggling to crawl underneath. The reason I asked in the first place was in case I decide to get a better carb, but then I'll drive down to your place and get you to make and fit.;););)

Les, they all have 3 holes, one is for a vacuum take off, 2 hold the throttle cable bracket. None are needed with an SU so i used to weld them up, but now i just put bolts in the holes :)

For the benefit of those fitting SU carbs, this is what i do.

Extend the arm by 2", weld a bit of angle on the chassis, dirlled for a cable adjuster, and a 4ft cable. :)

At last a definitive answer to the problem[^]
Not sure how long the universal push bike cables are from Halfords, as I've cut them down when I've used them, but they are only £3 and the original cable adjusters fit perfectly:)

It's not perfect, but it works ok. Makes the pedal a little heavier, but that could be overcome by doglegging it for more leverage.
I've found that pit bike throttle cables are about right and come in various lengths,plus they have a 90 degree adjuster which helps at the carb end. A bit of cutting and trimming and it's good. :)

But you will need another filter ;)

Just fitted mine today. A couple of small jobs to finish but it's running!!
Thanks Tim.

I sorted my garage into 4 piles of stuff.
1. Stuff I`m keeping
2. Stuff I`m not getting rid of.
3. Stuff I might use..one day.
4. Stuff that might come in handy.
 
The kit is getting more comprehensive I see[8D]

Yep, trying to make it easier for people, just got to make an airbox now :)

Now doing optional extras. Proper stub stack gives around 7% more airflow, and an airbox that takes a K&N filter, or a flexi pipe so you can put the filter in front the radiator in the cooler air :)
