What is the best SU manual to have on the shelf? I’m looking for tuning, technical, and identification info. Every manual advertised states that it is the best SU manual to have. What say you?
Tuning S.U. Carburettors, published by Speedsport Motorbooks 1981, ISBN 85113-113-1 is as complete an SU manual as exists. On the other hand, out of the four manuals I’ve accumulated over the years, the first one I pick when I need some information is the Haynes SU manual. It’s good and the print is bigger.
The SpeedPro “…Power Tune SU…” book has some worthwhile tips and tricks in it but it’s not a reference book at all.
Agreed. I’m on my second copy, having worn out the first. It’s now titled SU Carburetters Tuning Tips & Techniques Brooklands Books, 5TH edition, © 1994. (ISBN 1 85520 2557) 1st impression was published in 1968 as Tuning S.U. Carburetters & Fuel Pumps by Speedsport Motorbooks.
