Hi Folks,

I am looking to alternatives to the Stromberg 175 which I found very difficult to adjust. After being with an “expert” the carb is a mess and I need to completely rebuild it. The only good bit left is the core.
Over the last 2 Years I have never been happy with it. Maybe time to replace it?
I read here the only straight swap is the SU HS-6.
I understand the SU is easier to work with and more reliable? I also remember I have read the SU was the Carb used in 140 Taxi?
