Adjusting SU Carburetor Jets on My Morris Minor Van
There are lots of videos online on the care and feeding of SU carburetors, but there are lots of books about the Roman Empire too. Maybe mine will provide a little snippet of information you were looking for. I bought my dual SU setup on eBay years ago and they have taken me a lot of miles. I didn't get into recording the balancing process - just ran out of time. While you are getting up close and personal with your carbies check the action of the throttle and choke linkages carefully and resolve any problems in that area first. Operate the choke and make sure that the jet tubes return to their normal running position when the choke is pushed in. If not, it may be due to improper linkage adjustment or slop in the system.
I have always had a fascination with British cars and have owned many of them. I first saw my Morris Minor 1000 van (LCV) on eBay in 2008 being offered for sale by a "specialty" car dealer in South Carolina named Turkey. I showed my wife the ad and she said "We've gotta have that." She's a good sport. I never met Turkey face-to-face during this transaction, but he shared my interest in quirky little cars. Turkey had imported the car from New Zealand where it started life as a municipal vehicle in Rotorua and was restored by a custom trail bike builder, https://www.jeffsonbikes.co.nz, to be a rolling advertisement for his business. The truck apparently arrived new in NZ as a CKD or complete knock down, that is, it was shipped disassembled and reassembled on arrival at its destination. After driving it for about eight years, In 2017, I turned it over to Axiom Restorations, https://www.axiomresto.com, for a complete frame off resto. As planned, they gave it back to me with engine and tranny just sitting in place and I did all the detail work to get it back on the road, a process that took about a year. My Morris Minor restoration is an ongoing, rolling project.
