Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC6072 SU carburettor seal kit for?
The RTC6072 seal kit renews the sealing components in the SU twin carburettor setup on the 3.5 litre V8 petrol engine. Fresh seals restore fuel tightness and stable metering where the originals have hardened or shrunk with age and modern fuel.
Which vehicles use the SU twin carburettor V8 this kit suits?
This kit suits the Land Rover Defender from 1987 to 2006, Discovery 1 from 1989 to 1998, and Range Rover Classic from 1986 to 1994, all with the 3.5 litre V8 petrol on SU twin carburettors. It doesn't suit Stromberg carburettor V8s.
How do I tell SU carburettors from Stromberg?
SU carburettors are typically identified by the brass dashpot cap on top of the suction chamber with the damper rod screwed into it, and a jet adjusting nut underneath. Strombergs use a plain top cover instead. Check the top of the carburettor before ordering this SU kit.
What symptoms mean SU carburettor seals need renewing?
Fuel smell around the carburettors, weeping at the float chamber or jet, an idle that won't hold steady, and rich running are the usual signs. On the SU V8 setup the jet and float chamber seals typically harden and shrink over time, more quickly with ethanol blended fuel.
Is fitting an SU seal kit a DIY job?
Fitting SU seals is typically a home job with hand tools, though the carburettors need stripping cleanly and the jets recentring afterwards. Balancing the twin carburettors and setting mixture is required once they're back on the engine, which is easier with a carburettor balancer.
