    SU needles

    I have a set of twin 1.25 SU carbs that I want to fit to a 1380cc Mini. I am trying to get the needls out, but can't budge them. Any suggestions.

    Fixed type or biased? bias type are some times hard to remover as the ferrel gets damaged by the securing screw! if it's fixed type needles maybe a little pen oil ?

     I fitted twin 1.25" to a 1275 cooper s and had to open them up pretty much all the way... Have you thought about 1.5" or maybe a twin weber? The initial outlay is a fair bit but you'll notice the difference...
