- My brother used to restore MGB (if I remember correctly he has had over
- 14 of them). The earlier B's had I believe, two (H)SU4 (i don't remember
- if there is the H there or not), but later on, after the B got the insane
- rubber bumper treatment, they went to one HSU6 carb. I the switch over
- was probably 74-75 ish. I don't recall my brother having any real problems
- with rebuilding them or balancing them (all his cars were 2 carb chrome bumper
- B's)

- Hope this helps
