I can't verify how accurate my settings were, but on one of my Volvo 145 's
I ended up fixing the float on one. Then I set the carbs by ear. Seemed to
work fine.  (certainly better than it was) My *guess* is that a gauge would
do a better job.

IMO those SU's got a bad rap. In my limited experience, I had no  issue with
them.

IIRC the Strombergs Volvo used were not as good.

Didn't know about the Uni-syn
