Hi all, I have a Spirit chassis #4629 with twin SU carbs. I am having an issue with lots of fuel coming out of the float vent valve. Instead of venting to the outside via the hose attached to the chassis, I vented it to a bottle and filled it with in a minute. I have replaced the floats on both carbs. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Also I am looking for the brass fitting, with O rings that connects to the fuel inlet of the carb from the fuel filter chamber. (To the right of the black hose) I have contacted all the normal suppliers in the UK with no luck. If they are not available has someone else used another fitting - Thank youBrass Filling for Fuel Inlet

Paul.
Others will know better than I regarding the Spirit cars, however for SU products in Australia, Midel at Punchbowl are Australian suppliers.
Burlen are the suppliers in Europe.
