So I'm curious what everyone else out there is running for needles in their SU H6's? What vehicle are you running them in? I am running RH in my 1960 TR3A. I recently refurbished my carbs and put SM needles in and had problems getting the engine to idle at a lower rpm. After a lot of monkeying around I put the RH needles back in and was able to get it back down but it still idles pretty high, about 1500 rpms. So I have been doing a lot more reading and looking and I figure I have gone out of order and the timing is probably off, haven't checked that the valve clearances may be off too, so i need to check that. I also ordered a carb sync tool set so hopefully this will help when I get back to the carbs. I also put new butterflies in the carbs and I'm wondering if that might be causing a problem too. Maybe I didn't get them in there straight or something. But I now understand all this business with the carbs is futile until I get the other stuff straightened out I guess I'm just sharing all this cause I don't have anyone else to share it with. Sometimes I wish one of you guys where near by to stop by and help a friend out. But anyway I'm still curious what others are running for needles and any other thoughts or comments are welcome.
Thanks
Anthony!
