tacr2man Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 You need to slacken off joining bar and adj slow running screws individually , then tighten up synchronising bar again . as 1 carb should lead other . Best to get a look at manual as its straight forward but a bit involved HTSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jode Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 You can find the workshop manual on the net in pdf - just google 'land rover, workshop manuals' and you'll eventually find the link you need. Also the Hay..s manual for the SU is really very good for rebuilding, however IIRC it doesn't show how to set the idle. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
