If you want it spot-on you should ideally find a rolling road with people who know SU's.

Hasn't your engine been rebuilt recently ? Wasn't it set up at the time ?

I've used David Lonsdale in the past. He built me a lovely pair of HD8s and openned out manifold for my XK150. These days he runs his own business servicing SUs, Classic Carburettors, Cirencester, UK.

Used to have an XK120.

Ive been running her in for the last 500 miles since the rebuild , and being carefull with the revs , she now running at 60psi . ( Big improvement from the 25 psi ) .

I really wanted to get her set up by a specialist who really knows SU's after shes run in
thanks
