Well, it doesn't run any worse than it did before, so there's that!
My first SU rebuild experience.
Rebuilt the bugeye's H1s last night and learned some valuable lessons (not in this order):
1. Rebuilding your SUs is extraordinarily easy - unless you are working in a cluttered area. Drop a spring, add 30 minutes. Drop a brass washer, may as well use the old one. The lesson - work in an uncluttered area.
2. Be careful to push your float bowl out of the way of the front throttle linkage/spring assembly when you reinstall. If not, you may scratch your head for a while trying to figure out why returning to an even idle is inconsistent.
3. Prime the float chambers before trying to start for the first time after reinstalling.
4. If it's after 11pm and you're getting pi**ed off cuz nothing is going back together as you remember it, stop and wait until the next day. I did in 20 minutes on Saturday morning what I struggled over an hour with Friday at around 11:30pm.
5. Those little black donut shaped things in the jet assembly taht look like hard rubber washers were actually cork washers once. After scratching my head for while, I finally figured out this fact.
Now to figure out how to tune the carbs.
