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

SU carb elbow adaptor about £15. SU carbs go from about £35 to £75 depending on condition and setup.

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...

If that's the case, might actually be worth more to the MG, Rover, Jag or Austin communities.
