Dylan's 544 Entry 3: Adjusting those "mysterious" SU carburetors!

A mystery no more!  Some basic info about adjusting your SU HS6 Carburetors on a Volvo B-18 / B-20 engine!

There are some other adjustments I sort of glanced over (choke cable adjustment comes to mind) but this should get you going!

As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them below!

Big news: I now work at iPD!

Oh, Hello!

So it's been a bit since we last spoke.  In that time, I've taken a full-time gig at iPd in Portland!

This is good news for this blog, because I now have access to lots of additional info about these cars that I didn't have before.  Working at iPd also allows me to talk to other Volvo owners everyday, and it has given me a great insight to what kinds of questions you guys have.

Here's a video to address this.  I'm currently working on blog entries about setting the valves, and adjusting the SU carburetors.  The videos have been shot, I just need to finish editing them and I'll get them up soon!

As always, thanks for checking out the blog!  If you have any questions you can always reach out to me in the comments section below!
