Carburettor Damper
Just watched Wheeler Dealer (bored) on the teev and they had a Thing
It was stalling because of a faulty carburettor damper
Never seen or even heard of one before?
Were they ever in Australia?
Were they ever OS? or was this some modified thing?
Futue te ipsum!!!

SU carburettors have dampers. In the UK the weather is a little damper.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Should have just googled

Called a "dash pot"
The dash pot was put on carbs for emission control. When a throttle is closed quickly, CO and HC goes way up.
