A rough idle, sluggish throttle response or a fuel smell around the carburetor usually comes down to dried-out gaskets and worn jets on the twin SU HS6 units that feed the B20B in the 140 Series. When the two carburettors no longer pull evenly, cold starting becomes troublesome and the mixture runs uneven between the cylinders.

This category gathers wear and sealing parts for the SU HS6 on the B20B - the twin-carb 2.0-litre motor that replaced the B18 from 1968. The group includes gaskets, jets, springs and spring washers, levers, retainers, plus screws and washers for the installation.
During a carburetor rebuild, the gasket set and the jets are typical points to check: if air leaks at the flange or the jet is washed out, you cannot sync the two carburettors cleanly. Also check that the return springs and the lever linkage move freely before you adjust the mixture and idle.
