#1 Burlen Tripple SU Kits Query

Post by vern jones » Wed Feb 01, 2017 9:21 pm

Hi all I have just fitted my long awaited Burlen SU kits to my S2 LHD 2+2 but wondered if encountered the same issues I have and how they got round them.

Breather pipe when joining the breather housing is now obstructed by the bypass hose from the water pump. Just does not look good.
Top hose with the extension tube looks rubbish, if there a longer hose available.
Air filter housing from the carbs (supplied in the kit) has the cut out and is a poor kit with my air box.
Any chit chat would be good anyway.
Thanks all

Vern, its a different breather for SUs and Strombergs. The fit of the plenum has to be fettled particularly if you are using the Stromberg one.
