I understand, and I think I agree with the observations about the desirability of equal fuel levels in the float chambers/jets in the SUs, but here is what I don’t understand: There is just no way that in the assembly of our cars, that the workers checked fuel levels. Instead, I expect that they simply bolted up carbs to the inlet manifold with float forks adjusted to 7/16” (or 5/16” if you want to believe that 7/16” has just been a perpetuated error). Somebody “may” have equalized the drop of the jets from the bridge, but it is more likely that they equalized the number of turns of the jet adjustment screw. Finally, I assume (I know that is always dangerous), although I do not have first hand knowledge since I never drove a brand new Healey, that the cars ran well off of the show room floor. If that is the case, are we making too big a fuss over the pursuit of precise tuning of our SUs?
This observation is a sincere question, and certainly not a criticism of those who have contributed to this Forum thread.
