Carbs
I'm rebuilding my engine and althought the stock carb works, I'd like to fit a twin choke carb.
I've bought a weber carb and manifold from a 1.6 Kent but the carb is damaged.
The flange that bolts to the manifold is bent out of shape and has bent the throttle flap "pins" (that the throttle flap uses as its axis) and stops
the throttle from opening smoothly.
I could just try to straighten it all out, but I'm sure that it'll never be quite right. As the manifold is fine, does anyone know of a small car
that uses a twin-choke-weber as standard ? I'd like to have a root through the scrappies, but it'd be nice to have a starting point. If it was a
1.3, all the better, I could then get it running (roughly) before having to rejet etc.
TIA

yes but you don't actually say which engine you are putting this on.
If its a 1.6 xflow,then a 32/36 or a 28/36 off a rs2000
I have a weber reference manual at home but I beleive the 32 dgav was standard on Mk1 XR2's.
I'll check later

Sorry 'bout that  It's a 1.3 Kent OHV.
I'm gonna definitely collect it, even if I don't use it it'll go in the "useful crap" pile
If it was standard fitment on the Mk1 XR2, it should be fine and even run OK 'til I get it tuned properly

I think your best bet would be 1.4s fiesta
As the jetting would be close.
Do be warned thro I had a twin off a mexico fitted to my first car ( 1.3l mk2 escort) and it never ran properly because of the jetting!
You'll have to get it set up.
