SU Carb Value

Post by AshR1 » Sat Oct 11, 2014 12:05 pm

got an old su carb and mount from my old engine, it was a bit tatty and had some cable ties holding it together but still worked ok, anybody know the value of it if its worth selling or keeping it?

thanks

That's an old HS style carb, most people want HIF carbs.

Its just an H carb actually ;)

The HS carb has an external fuel hose connecting the float chamber to the carb...
