I am sure no-one else would make this stupid mistake, but just in case . . . . .
I decided to service the HiF6's and went to the SU Carb site to order the parts. Ordered two service kits, two new needles and two new floats. When I come to service the right hand side carb the float chamber cover won't fit with the new jet, because it's pointing the wrong way. It appears that the floats and the jets are "handed" ie different for the right and left carburettor. I am very cross, and fire off a sarcastic email to SU Carbs scolding them for sending me the wrong bits. Feeling pleased with myself, I then go back to the website and check my order. Only then do I see that on the relevant page there are two separate tabs labelled LEFT and RIGHT for ordering parts for the appropriate carburettor. In my haste and enthusiasm I had clicked on the relevant parts in the LEFT tab and then just doubled up when I got to the checkout. How I laughed when I saw my silly mistake (NOT!).
Anyway, new order placed and humble pie email sent to SU Carbs.
What fun we are having.
