"SU H6's on the MGA race car without oil and without piston dampers for a few years"
...I might understand running them without Damping Valve on a racer (and would ask you to elaborate on throttle response when configured like that!...does it cough [lean stumble] when you quickly go to Wide Open Throttle [WOT]?, or do you have it adjusted so rich that it doesn't even notice? ), but I can't see running mechanical assemblies (your carbs!) without lubrication! Are you not aware that they need lube???

Cheers
