Default SU carb jets

In response to a question I posted on the B16 forum re leaking cork seals on the jets I was referred to this Here he uses part number 09262106 Buna-N O ring 3/4" ID x 1" OD x 1/8" thick, round. Scroll about 2/3 into this article. https://thosbryant.wordpress.com/.../su-carburetor.
in the article the author refers to Teflon jet sealing rings, about 2 thirds down the article.
Anybody know if such a thing would be available in the UK.Dont really want to incur the cost and hassle of importing from the USA

If you ask Tom nicely he may be willing to sell you what you need. Normal postage in a small padded envelope should be low. After earlier postings about his site he did say that he monitors postings here. He is a member. Find his email address on this page.

Pretty greedy you wanting the Teflon seals as well.

See the tail end of this article for the dimensions and American suppliers. Perhaps you can get local parts with the information.

You don't even have to ask all that nicely. The 2-carb o-ring kit that I sell in the USA for $8.00 can be sent to the EU (and even the UK) for an additional $7.00. It gets mailed in a "letter" envelope. No customs declaration, etc. The main reason for the extra $7.00 is to cover my mileage for the special trip to the local Post Office.

Just a small point regarding cork gaskets for the SU Carbs: ~
These are normally a long service item when installed correctly- they should be left soaking in “oil” for as long as possible- this will stop the same from drying out.
Bob.

Edit- another long standing SU company

Yes, Burlen and GowerLee can supply all of the standard parts but the items from Tom are non standard. They maybe an improvement over the original parts but Burlen and others aren't usually willing to change anything from the original specs. Burlen has upgraded the SU floats but nothing else AFAIK.
Thanks Tom for posting.

The problem with the B16b is that the rear carb sits almost on top of the intersection of the four exhaust ports manifold and get's extremely hot,in fact so hot that at times I can barely touch it! causing the cork to dry out. The ones I need to replace are my second seal sets. I normally soak them for a couple of days in oil!Since this pic' I have fitted a heat shield which helps a little.
