Not SU bad so far

I am still waiting for my auctions to finish so I can buy the correct rebuild kit for my carbs. But I thought I would post a couple of pictures of the carbs after their preliminary wash. All the loose oil and general crud has been removed. The parts will be cleaned further when I finally get to strip them.
















I have had a few other toys arrive through the post this weekend. Namely a new fuel pump (the correct size as the current one is for an mg midget) with electronic operation rather than the troublesome points. A pair or ram pipes so I can do away with the standard air filters and eventually install some nice K&N ones. For the short term I will buy a pair of thos foam sock filters just so I don't run the engine with unfiltered air, a new oil pressure and water temperature gauge so I can finally see the proper engine temperature and a Mocal oil stat so the engine oil does not get over cooled. All this should get the engine running well. If only I can get the carbs back on. Depending on how long it takes me to get the carbs rebuilt I may just buy a few gaskets so they can be refitted untill then.
Mental note. Don't take the car to bits until you have the bits.
