SU jets

[butchthebond]

new jets have arrived for my carbs. I seem to remember that the colour rings indicate front or rear carb fitment. Am i right?

my existing old jets have only got the black ring on the front carb, so not much data to x ref there.  new ones have black/grey

and black/brown rings and my question is :- which is front( if it matters).?

I have read the manual and surfed the net, but came up empty, so i'm hoping for knowledge from the crew!

thanks.

They are handed so it becomes pretty obvious when you go to fit them the pipe bends to the drivers side when entering the jet and the attachment hole in the jet goes toward the middle of the 2 carbs, they will only fit 1 way.

thanks for that DanMi. i was hoping it was like that, as i had already held them to the carbs and was forming that opinion.

makes me wonder why they are coded differently if it's that simple, even i could work it out, but prefer confirmation.

I have never noticed any coding on them but then I have never really looked
