- A video on rebuilding SU carbs. These are HIF6 from a 1979/80 Rover SD1 V8-s, but the bodies are similar if not the same as the HIF44 and HIF44e that came later.
I bought my rebuild parts from Dave at DSG carburation on ebay
www.ebay.co.uk...
And SU Burlen
burlen.co.uk/
I have no links/affiliation to either company, i just spunked a load on money there :(
These sorts of carburettors were fitted to loads of british cars, rover sd1, jaguar, mini, maestro, montego etc etc. So if you need tro rebuild anything like that then this video should help.

“The problem with me doing videos is I’m not organised at all”.
You make up for that in attention to detail mate. Must of said it a thousand times but you really are gifted. We all love your content and pyjamas 😂.
She sounds lovely 🎼🎶🎵🎶❤️
Well that was thoroughly enjoyable , it made washing up and tidying the kitchen much more bearable to do listening to you. Keep up the great work, love the videos .
You really hugely underestimate how many people want to watch this kind of content and your content in general.
Nice to see you back 👊
Appreciate it
Big respect to you James, that gold V8S is a very handsome car! Live long and prosper buddy! 😊
Great to see you back! I, for one, watch all of your videos, whatever the content. 👍🏼 Shame about Dotty being sold but hope it’s gone to a good home.
How fascinating - thanks for sharing it. Well done. I’m always in awe of your knowledge and manual dexterity
Brings back memories of the needle and jet 'upgrade' I did on my TR7 back in the day, which ended in several weeks of rebuilding the entire carbs. No such thing as a simple job! Lol 😂
Interesting video and enjoyed it , never tire of seeing SD1 content, oh and glad to see you dressed up in your best Tartan PJs for the Haggis dinner 👌🏻😁.
Great to see you back hope you've been relaxing and recharging the batteries you've been well missed since finishing the SD1

I haven't the patience to read a book like that and definitely not the brainpower to rebuild carbs with all the bits and setup involved. Well done to you.
Disappointing to hear dotty was sold, you put mega effort into that car.
Your videos are never boring!
Your videos are waaaaaaay more exciting than watching haggis boil!
More cars…..less haggis.
My fiancee is scottish. Ive learnt lots of new swear words which is a plus
My favourite Scottish insult is “away and boil yer heed ya jobby flavoured fart lozenge”
I realy enjoy your vids!! Compared to me you are extrmely organised and have an ability to detail far greater than I . My love of the SD1 also helps. My father had 3 which he let me use as if they were mine, 2 x 3500 autos and a 2.6S manual. As I said, loved them!
Great to see y back,looking forward to more videos especially on the rover 200 bubble
Great to see you back.! Another project coming up James?? Missed your videos. Always a good watch.
I hope u are ok are u coming back to TH-cam
Glad to see you back. Sat here wondering if we will see some updates / jobs on the LDV and the 2400 SD1.
Nice motor James. . Thanks for the video very interesting
Nice carb restore good too see you again mate , keep that top notch work up mate
Wow James, that's a stunning car
Good to see you back 👍
Very useful video I'm going to be refurbishing my Maestro SU carb
it will probably be very similar indeed. If it is a late maestro, then it will probably have a big stepper motor on the side instead of a manual choke, and an ORFCO valve or fuel shut off valve on the side. I had to rebuild a pair of them on my SD1 police car. The o-rings that seal the stepper motor to the body can split, and the ORFCO valves can gum up. Pretty similar though. The long stupid screws that hold the stepper motor on the carb are held on with loctite and very easy to ruin the heads. Make sure you have a really good fitting screw driver bit in the heads. I rounded mine off and it was a right pain in the butt.
@@nitrosilvia thank you for the advice, it's very welcome. I have a late 1.3 clubman. The manual choke appears to be on some kind rocker lever, that pulls up when engaged. I'm not sure if it's has a stepper motor on the side from what I can see, I might be wrong. Good call on the scree driver, I wouldn't wish to round any heads off the bolt. Wish I had one of the Sonic solution cleans as shown in your video. That would be handy. I guess it's going to have to be some brake cleaner and a brush, maybe a bit of petrol to clean 😅
Use a drill bit as a feeler to set the float height.
Good idea
Hi missing the SD1 vids , hope you will be back soon with the diesel ?
Awesome vid. Ive got a jaguar XJ6 2 series 1974, 4.2 and they got SU HIF7. Ive been replacing the needle and sears and they still overflowing enormously. Ive set the float to spec: -1mm of the bottombody. But keeps on flowing???! What to do?
Enjoyed that Nitro, thanks
Excellent video as always. Great to see you back. The V8 S looks excellent. Any update on the 200 or 2400?
After meeting you and your V8-S in the Notcutts carpark some weeks ago, I thought of you this morning while watching the latest "The Late Brake Show" on TH-cam, wherein a 1983 Vitesse is resurrected from a garage. Apparently the owner might want to sell it and... perhaps you need a very original Vitesse in your life;-)
I hope your V8-S is behaving. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Aiden, very good to meet you. V8-s tried to break down, ive worked out if i twiddle the headlamp switch the start circuit works again. Weird!!! good luck with the Jaguars
@@nitrosilvia Glad you sorted out the wiring... handy to have a built-in immobiliser though.
Glad ur back
Loved watching that,Nice one
Very interesting video 👍I enjoyed that 👍👍
Nice video, what is the carburetor manual your using...
Could wash body in petrol it's a very good cleaner
love the videos. Great channel!
Hi, what is the restoration manual you’re using? Is that a Haynes manual?
Certainly seemed to make big difference after rebuild
hi, how come you have stopped making videos
Basically my job has got super busy and I haven’t had time to do anything really on cars. I have bought a 420gsi turbo so I’ve done some work on that. Will upload a vid later
I gather it's a VERY bad idea to put your fingers in a running ultrasonic cleaner..
I wonder why you think that. I worked in the printing business and we always had our hands in the sonic cleaning print heads... I'm still alive and well 20years later...
I'm pleased to hear it.
