Rebuilt some SU carbs, did a video, never done this before
 

Figured some of the gearheads here might appreciate this; I'm working on a modified 73 Jaguar XJ6 with triple SUs/intake from an e type, and manual trans swap.

Anyway, had zero exposure to SU carbs other than my old mini, and I never touched them. This car has sat a long time, so carbs needed to be rebuilt. Kind of a clever little way to meter fuel, no idea how well they work, but interesting!

Very interesting video and perfectly timed. No faffing about with lots of good information. The only suggestion I'd make is maybe invest in better microphone. The audio is better than some on YouTube but a good mike would be a real improvement IMO FWTW.

Meanwhile I'm contemplating this. The infamous Aqualung :cool:
- Not 100% sure yet but I'm looking for a good car right now.

What am I looking at here?

:cool: Not mine but... The only problems are rust & the air conditioning system. The inspection revealed some rust in hidden areas. Not a big deal because it's not structural but it would cost me about 8k to put that right. Also the air conditioning could be more than 6k to fix (new compressor).

IMO a car like this does not benefit from patina.

Cool video. How long did it take to edit? What camera did you use to shoot it?

Thanks guys. Surprised about the audio quality comment, I'm using a go pro media mod with the external mic:

Took an hour or two to edit. Using a Go Pro Hero 9 Black. 10 doesn't seem worth it to upgrade.

Just got a box from germany this morning, rest of the jag parts, let's goooo

The three SU E-Types are a notorious BEYOTCH to tune. Two, not so bad. But the cool factor is way off the charts.

SU's are so simple and rewarding. What a killer project!

I thought the sounds was fine...perfect selection of the sped up segements. This was your first video??? Impressed me!
Most Importantly, you made me think..."Hey, I can do that" by following the video.

We will see! I've always heard carb syncing was a PITA but I haven't had problems on snowmobiles. I have no idea tho, but I'll find out soon enough.

Thanks man, geeked about it. She's a basically an E type sedan at this point, with an identical drivetrain.

Thanks! No I've been doing videos for a while, I did 40+ videos on my 911 rebuild, enjoy the rabbit hole:

Then it's probably my cheap arse $28 desk speakers... :D
