No Rover content, Question for Harvey on SUs

Just last night I had to install a new set of metering needles on my sister's Spitfire. One of the needles had sheared off flush with the bottom of the piston and dropped down into the jet. Needless to say, the car was barely running, I was quite impressed she got it the 4 miles & up the hill home .

It's the first time I have seen an SU needle break like that, have you seen that Harvey?

I've seen that too and that's what I said it was after looking down the carb, until I took the dashpot pot off and saw the stump. Then it took two weeks to get the needles from Curto, one week for him to remember and another for the post.

Yours
