SU HS6 //Can't adjust mixture 140-160 1967

In case you didn't know, the starting point for adjusting the jet tube down 12 flats(2 full turns) is not when the adjusting nut is fully seated/turned in all the way.

If you screw the adjusting nut all the way up, you will raise the jet tube too far and the top of the jet tube will stick up and push the piston up.

The proper starting point is when the top of the jet tube is flush to the top of the brass sleeve the jet tube slides in and out of that's inside the throttle body and is visible when you lift the piston.
