SU Carburetors

Post by Robert Luland »

Good afternoon gents, As many of you know Rivera Primo is no more. My self as well as a lot of you run a SU carb. I'm a firm believer in never say die. So Mama Bean and I took it upon our selves to save the day. The Good Old Motorcycle Parts Co now offer rebuild kits for Eliminator I and II carbs as well as one for the tickler assembly which are much improved over the Rivera offerings. We have a lot of oddball stuff for these carbs that will be posting on our website over the next few weeks.
Ride safe lads, bob Luland

Bob, here's a thought. I have a SU of the same type Rivera used but it came from a car. It doesn't have a number of pieces required to make it suitable for a bike. Viton needle & seat, BBX needle and tickler assembly at least. Are you able to supply? Pondering over whether converting this carb is a good way to go. It's in excellent condition and I know where I can get a manifold...
Thanks.

It will cost you ten times what buying an Eliminator II second hand would cost. Bob

Good to see some one caring on the SU. I ran one many moons ago. Good luck.
