Morris Minor Owners Club

HI just stripped and cleaned my carb on a 1098 and noticed the needle is well worn and has A N stamped on it.
is this correct? and anyone have a suggestion as to the best place to get one and a matching jet?
or is there a better set up?
thanking you for your tiome (oops well i do live in BRUM )

AN is standard for a standard 1098 with a HS2.

The needle and jet shouldn't be worn as with the needle centred correctly the two should never touch.

You can get a needle and jet from any Minor parts supplier... i think there's one in Burmingum

Also try this website for all carb parts and most fuel pump parts too.

brill-thank you both very much

Why do you think it is worn?? Hardly worth getting new parts for this - just set up what you have, correctly.

hi co2 is spot on at tick-over but rises as the revs go up to beyond the ideal level,it starts to run rich,plus the needle has slight ridge marks on it

Sounds like someone has tried to modify the needle for extra richness if it has 'ridge' marks on it.

Hi.I Have a 1956 minor that was running very rough.I purchased a S.U.overhaul kit from a web sight that specialises in s.u. carbs for about £45 aprox? and it ran love'ly once fitted and adjusted.if you search the internet i'm sure you will find it.i did in no time.sorry cannot be more helpfull.

£45 is a LOT - most carbs just need a good clean up and possibly a new float valve.
