Get the carb serviced annually, use the genuine repair kit when necessary and keep it free of carbon build up and rust (aluminium oxide).

Thanks Don. Is there anything special regarding SU type among other types of carbs?

No, I think its the most common type found. Only thing to note is some cars have so called Electronic carburettors so if your car has one whoever services it will need to be competent in them. They vary in sophistication and I had a fairly simple system in my old Mazda.
