Not any more. But I did own one for a while. Not much use.

I still own both my UniSyn and my 4 gauge manometer.

AND my Jag timing chain tensioning tool and cam lock and my BSA A65 timing plug and my Bultaco timing pin and and and....

Oh yeah and all the tools necessary to adjust VW inline valves. And a Rochester float gauge and last but not least, A dog-eared copy of Nicholson's. <http://www.modernmotorcyclemechanics.com/>

And Scott: H6 is the bore size of an SU. H6s were 1 3/4". Big Healey and Jag sized. H4s were 1 1/2" and typically used on motors up to 2 liter (MG and Triumphs). H2s were 1 1/4" bore and typically used on 1 liter engines (Austin and Morris). http://www.sw-em.com/su_carbs.htm#SU%20carb%20applications

The biggest problem with SUs? Throttle shaft wear and the attendant vacuum leaks. BTDT. Sold my last LBC about seven years ago having owned one or another continuously for three decades.

Now I drive two and a half decade old Vanagons. <---- VANAGON CONTENT!
