They sell 2 types of oil – “SU Damper oil” which is straight SAE 20 monograde oil # BDR125S and “SU Dashpot oil” # BDP125S for pre-war SU’s without a damper ( SAE grade unspecified). The bottle shown in the test is labelled “SU Damper oil” so it should flow like any other SAE 20 at normal temperature – say 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It's important that the dashpot on your carburettor is filled with oil, preventing fluctuations in fuel/air mixture under acceleration. SU damper oil is designed specifically for this job.

2 Apr 2006 The SU carburettor is relatively simple in design but very effective in withdraw the damper and top up the reservoir until the oil level is 1/2 in 

Classic Mini TV - Talking about the Mini's SU HIF 44 Carburettor - Duration: 21:18. TVMATKILAT 36,187 views Su Carburetters are The Worlds Sole Manufacturer of Genuine SU Carburettors, Fuel Pumps and Spares. Top up each of the piston dampers with carburettor damper oil. Unscrew the damper cap, withdraw the damper and top up the reservoir until the oil level is 1/2 in (12mm) above the top of the hollow piston rod. Float chambers. The float chamber of the carburettor contains a float and a needle valve. SU Carb Dashpot Oil The purpose of the SU damper is to retard the rapid upward movement of the piston on the rapid throttle opening associated with acceleration. This delay in piston movement causes a momentary decrease in pressure at the throat, thus achieving a momentary increase in richness much the same as with an accelerator pump. The SU carburettor is simple to strip. It has only one jet (except in a few special types) and very few moving parts. It is very reliable, but it can become dirty and choked — and some parts wear out. The most common type of SU is the HS. The HIF, overleaf, differs in some ways. They should be removed from the engine for cleaning. It's a SU thing, I cannot think of another type of carb that has oil in it. Very basically the fuel jet neddle is installed in a suction piston. As engine speeds increase and vacuum increases and the suction piston is drawn upward (maybe pushed a little too??) into the dome of the carb.

On older SU carburettors, which have a vent hole in the screw-in plastic top of the dashpot, the oil level should be i in. (13 mm) above the top of the piston tube.

At 5000 rpm, the volume of air will be 5 times that at 1000 rpm or 2500 litres (88.29 cubic feet) per minute. Assume the engine to which the carburettor is supplying fuel is running at idle speed. The jet, fuel needle and piston spring are sorted to match the performance requirements of the engine. The reason why "publications" show the oil level above the top of the piston, and this includes both BMC/Leyland and SU notes, IS to lubricate the running surface between the piston and the dashpot. Probably less necessary on ball bearing suction chambers, but I would still top up above the level of the piston to ensure that friction doesn't do part of the damping!! SU DAMPER OIL is a Mineral based oil containing anti-corrosion and anti-wear additives for the lubrication of pistons and dampers in SU and Stromberg carburettors. Application SU DAMPER OIL is suitable for post 1940 vehicles using SU and Stromberg carburettors incorporating a damper in the dashpot assembly. All SU Carburetors include new throttle shafts and bushings. Strombergs with brass shafts receive new shafts and bushings. Water-choke Strombergs receive shafts/bushings as needed. S.U. Carburetors include new jets, needles, piston springs, float valves, float bowl grommets Page 1 of 3 - Su Dashpot Oil Choice - posted in Problems, Questions and Technical: I am going to use an SU HIF 44 to fuel my 1380 engine when it,s rebuilt, i,ve read in various publications that a 5W type synthetic oil is best for the dashpot.
