hey guys my cars not running properly. its a A14 with N12 dizzy. it starts up like its on 2 cylinders and after about 20-30 seconds gets better and is better at higher revs. any ideas what it could be? the car has sat around for a while in the garage and there is still oil in the carbys

From my experience with Su's, they are cold arse carbs.

You need to choke them.
They will only really start to work when the engine reached full operating temperature. Until then my set backfires thru the air cleaner.

How do they run when the engine is at full operating temp?

they need the cold start,
mixtures are critical, and float levels...
throttle shafts play up..
lots of things..

does anybody know where the web page went that showed u them all pulled down ect

Do not really understand what you mean/looking for Matto1kute?

I agree. When cold they are a bit$h to drive with. I choke mine when starting cold and run it on half choke until it reaches operating temp. Even after it reaches operating temp I must still be very careful when driving as I think the intake is not yet fully warm. After about 10 minutes of drive at operating temp they start to work fine.

I have the manual that you are looking for. Anyone interested PM me your email or post here your email and I will mail it.

well since the motor has been running they are better. magically fixed themsalves

probably sediment in the bowls and sticky floats from sitting aroiund too long

I will tell you before I got the choke cable, it was something like 5-7 minutes before the thing would even run well enough to get off the trailer............it would do just as described, intermittently drop a cylinder or two.
