whatiya talking about ?
I still have my little mixture adjusting wrench ..
the one you use to lower the jet holder on the bottom of the carb.
Really early SU's ...
'H6' sticks out in my mind ....
learly ones like what you find on a say, 1959 Volvo 544.

I liked that about the Constantly Depressed carbs.
Overcast and grim in England a lot I think.

Ok...extra points for anyone who knows what 'SU" stands for ..
and no looking it up.
