60FlatTop Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It sure runs smooth. Are you REALLY using a teapot for a carburetor?Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest outlaw car man Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Good job- Looks like an SU carb like on my Jag or Healy.... I'm sure just to get it going. Those are great days when we get an old gal running again-OCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humber349 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I have the original Marvel carb, but it needs work. I will see how it runs on the SU carb, and maybe change back later.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I was just kidding to brighten things up a bit. Sometimes even on the best of days one just can't get away from that constant depression.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daves1940Buick56S Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I hope you all went down to your local immediately after and had a few pints of their best bitter!Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYER15015 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Great job Phil !!!Looks to be an S.U. from a TR-3 or a Healey. Too big to be from a TD.For that big Buick motor, you might consider one from a Jag.A couple of decades ago, I ran a small business out of my garage putting Jag S.U.'s on Harley's.Boy did they run better. Closest thing to fuel injection back then.Mike in Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It is a play on words. I do not do Speedometer repairs. When the weather is warm, I work on stuff in a Speedo Swimsuit. Some even call me Speedo Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
