air/fuel mixture 120-130 1967

?

Vary the relative jet/metering needle position to vary the orifice size, which meters fuel as a function of engine demand and throttle position. I suggest you understand the operation of an SU before attempting adjustments...please assure also, that all else (i.e. IGN, valve clearance, throttle shaft slop etc. ) is right before you go trying to adjust the mixture to compensate for something else!...two wrongs seldom make a "good right"!
