  1. Thanks very much, will keep youit posted on what I find. Cheers for now.
  2. Thank you both. Next job is to take the carbs off the manifold and measure them up.
  3. So, last run out, my Vitesse Mk2 Convertible started spewing fuel all over the road. Looks like the float to the front carb was stuck. Time to overhaul the carbs and replace the floats with some unsinkable ones. I have twin SUs fitted, I think from a 2000. Looking at the little tabs on the float chambers, the front one says AUD604F. A quick Google confirms this is an HS4 from a 1974-on Triumph 2000. However, the rear SU has the number AUD147. A similar Google tells me this is an HS6 from an Austin 1800 from the mid-60s. But the two carbs look identical. Is it likely that the rear one is an HS6, or more likely that it is the wrong tag or just the float chamber is from an HS6? Any thoughts welcome!
