Replying to your letter of the 15th instant, we are enclosing herewith revised print of our Part No. 1796A showing a revised position of the valve tube insert to give a valve lift of .022" to .025" instead of .035". Probably this revised valve lift was put through as a verbal arrangement and unfortunately I do not always have the result of these conversations. We are sending under separate cover half a gross of impact washers. Yours faithfully, For THE S.U. CARBURETTER CO. LTD. B. Cooper [STAMP: ENCLOSURE] | ||
