S.U. Carburetter Float Chamber.
Some little while ago the S.U. Co. submitted a drawing showing a modified float chamber whereby the float was pivoted, and which directly operated the flow needle.
We are keen to try out this modified form of float chamber, and shall be pleased to know if the S.U. Co. have yet replied to the criticisms you put forward.
