Well I drove it home and turned it off.

Invited the family out to have a look and it wouldn't start

Turns out the plugs had fouled because the current tune is soooo rich. Puffs out smoke like a diesel

Does anyone know how to adjust the mixtures on twin SUs?

Andrew,

It's been awhile, my notes aren't the best, and may not suit a blown motor:

On most models, the jet adjusting nut is beneath the body of the carburettor. Turning this adjusting nut upwards (tightening) will weaken the mixture and turning it downwards (loosening) will make the mixture richer. An SU jet adjusting spanner will make this adjustment easier. If your mixture is really badly adjusted you can tighten the adjusting nut up fully and then loosen it 12 flats of the nut. This will set your mixture to approximately the correct place.

On an HIF carb the mixture adjustment is by a cross head screw situated in a recess in the base of the body. On later cars, jet adjustment is controlled by turning a screw on the side of the body of the instrument. Turning the screw clockwise will enrich the mixture, while turning the screw in an anti-clockwise direction will weaken the mixture.

Carburettor lifting pins
At the side of each carburettor is a lifting pin, these pins enable you to check the movement of the piston.
Once the carburettors have been synchronised, the lifting pins can be used to check the mixture adjustment. Raise the lifting pin on the front carburettor to lift the piston by approximately 1/32 in (0.8mm).
• If the engine speed increases, the mixture strength of the carburettor is too rich.
• If the engine speed immediately decreases, the mixture strength of the carburettor is too lean.
• If the engine speed momentarily increases very slightly then returns to idle, then mixture strength at the carburettor is correct.
Repeat this operation for the other carburettor, and after adjustment re-check the first carburettor, since both are interdependent to some degree.
If the exhaust note is irregular with a slight of misfire and colourless exhaust, the mixture is too lean. If there is a regular misfire in the exhaust beat, together with a blackish exhaust, then the mixture is too rich.

Cheers,
Harv

Thanks for the expert advice Harv.

I will have a look at them over the next few days.

I got it running again today and took it for a short ride - sure feels good to be driving it again!!

Also worth mentioning I have ordered a copper intake/exhaust gasket for it. It has already blown out the standard dimpled metal one.

I hope the copper unit will be a once and for all fix for this common problem.
