MG MGB Technical - SU Carb Adjusting Tools

While looking through some old used tools at a market I noticed a small green pouch marked:

SU Carb Adjusting Set
Midlock PSW

1. Testing of the piston
2. Centring of the jet
3. Check of the float level
4. Synchronisation
5. Adjustment of Petrol - Air Mixture.

This small set includes three grey plastic tubular items, the famous open-ended wrench by SU as well as some more gadgets.

There was no paper showing how to use it.
Is this set known to any of you has anyone a written description which I may copy.

Thank you

See the thread I started on colour tune results, the responses include some useful information and hotlinks to related sites. This booklet is very good-

The booklet Dave points to is an excellent resource. Its main topic is the HS carbs, not the HIF models, but the basics of tuning are pretty universal. If you drop me a note at my email address I can send you a scanned copy of the instructions that should have come with your little kit. These explain how to use the tools as called for in the booklet.
