Remember going there in the mid fifties with my dads Morris 8 for a tune up, they used to take the carb. off the car, strip it, renew any needed bits and then tune it up, was ok as long as everything else was in good nick, and the timing was spot on. The Amal in Witton did tune ups also on motorbikes.
In the very early 70's I took my first car (Riley 1.5) to the su carb service centre off the Tyburn road Nechells area for a tune-up on its 1.5" twin su carbs, I was a young apprentice at Hams Hall at the time and was in awe of the skill the techie used, set the carbs by ear. Great job.How many of you can remember taking your car hear for a carb tune up. Dek
I spent about two years in the SU experimental department, (Wood Lane) mainly making up sets of the so-called SU Twin Choke carbs and doing the test bed development of an Austin Healey 3000 rally engine which I fitted with triple SU twin chokes, in effect six HS6 carbs. Succeeded in getting the engine to produce 180bhp, the same as when fitted with triple twin choke Webers.In the very early 70's I took my first car (Riley 1.5) to the su carb service centre off the Tyburn road Nechells area for a tune-up on its 1.5" twin su carbs, I was a young apprentice at Hams Hall at the time and was in awe of the skill the techie used, set the carbs by ear.
