SU Carburetor Rebuild Kits

[PAUL161]

Advanced Auto on their web site shows a GP Sorenson carb. rebuild kit for HS2s and HS4s for $14.44 each. They also show rebuild kits for HIFs by Borg Warner for $14.99 I have no idea whats included in them, but their a lot cheaper than I paid two years ago. Definitely worth looking at. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif PJ

Were it me, I'd not use anything except an SU rebuild kit on an SU carb - but that's just my personal preference.

 

[PAUL161]

Believe it or not Tony, I didn't even know that Borg Warner still made kits for these cars. I have some remnants of two carb. rebuild kits in a Borg Warner box that I bought 20 years ago. It was a good kit then. I have no idea how they are now. I have a half notion to buy one just to see the quality of it and what's in the kit. PJ

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/iagree.gif and even the SU kits are not exactly the greatest quality..instruction wise especially.

I have yet to find a really excellent source for SU rebuild, a little here a little there is about all I have found.

I, like the Borg stuff I've gotten so far for my other cars.. maybe a new product test comparison is in order now.

Two words for SU parts people, JOE CURTO. As for rebuilding, I just happen to know this guy in SC who does a very fine job /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Joe's magnetic "card" has been affixed to my toolbox for years. If you need SU bits, he's got 'em. He recently came up with a set of floats for me, to fit a friend's HS2's... early brass ones with the hole inna center: NLA, "hen's teeth" ones.

 

[tony barnhill]

Ditto on the magnetic Curto card on my toolbox also, Doc! I recently called him about the carbs on the Daimler I sold & am helping the new owner restore...not an issue for Joe, he popped what we needed right in the mail as if they were off a run-of-the-mill engine!

Joe even came up with a set of hingeless floats for my SUs to alleviate fuel starvation in cornering problems I had. He's the man!!!

Joe Curto is the godfather of SUs in this country for sure. He's the main reason I'm rebuilding carbs for the street, at last years BMTA meeting we shared a few beers and he told me he stayed months behind building carbs and was seeking more builders like myself to rebuild SUs to sell parts to. While I had built SU for racing with alot of mods like thru boring, I had never considered rebuilding for the street cars, Joe is why I'm now rebuilding carbs for the street, he talked me into it and I'm glad he did, I enjoy the work. I went from zero street SU rebuilds in 2005 to maybe 30 sets for 2006 and my goal for 2007 is 50 sets.

Hello all,

when comparing kit prices, do be aware that there are different levels of kits, from seal and gasket kits to full rebuild kits.
