R3W forum member Dranreb contacted Burlen on 4 August 2011 and was informed that the settings for the new float were the same as the older HS carbs with the early nylon float and steel needle .

The gap between the lever and the face of the lid should be between

0.125” { 3.17 millimetres } and 0.187” { 4.75 millimetres }

SU CARB NEEDLE COMPARISON

NEEDLE SIZES ; INFO ONLY

AEB is the Yellow top needle

AAT is the usual needle for most other engines .

I have created a spreadsheet comparing the normal AAT jet needle {Spring type } for the SU HS2 carb against 3 other RELIANT NEEDLES .

I have also compared the standard needle found in the MINI SU CARB against the normal AAT jet needle {Spring type } .

Click here to go to my RELIANT NEEDLE COMPARISON page .

Click here to go to my Reliant Jet Needle Comparison spreadsheet Online

For anyone who is thinking of using a Standard MINI SU carb ;

The MINI carb is fitted with an AAV needle which is the SAME or SLIGHTLY WEAKER at the stages around the TICKOVER and SMALL THROTTLE OPENINGS .

It is MUCH RICHER from MID THROTTLE to the TOP END
