the 44hiff looks a big carb but su's work differently to other carbs like downdraft type.....you will never see it fully open even though your foots is all the way down the vacuum dashpot will never open fully even on autograss racing k10 doing 7500+rpm

I will do , iv put pictures of a adapter im making on my blog too

You can buy the correct spacer from any good mini spares place for a couple of quid

don't mess about changing the dashpot spring or anything in the carb,,,use standard engine oil in the top damper......try and set it up without doing anything to the needle,,,1st get it to idle,,,ie set the throttle stop so the engine is running around 1000rpm and then wined the mix screw in or out only 1/4 turn at a time and find a point were the engine rpm is at its highest....then bring the idle down to around 800rpm by the throttle stop adjuster......
Then try it............let me no what its doing after a road test
