    carbs

    My 20 cents worth, Cd 175 carbs are just great on offroaders, Many mechanics know nothing about these carbs, they are simple vacum operation. the only short coming is age of them. But they can still be be rebuilt to perform. I like holly carbs as well, they can be made run at near vertical but is not as simple as a flute installed. many modifications cheaper to fit fuel injection.

    I have been running a Stromberg WW carby on my Rangie for the past year. At first I had a problem with flooding on steep inclines but after reversing the carby it is now fantastic.
    Easy to tune and set-up and cheap. I think they used them in the old holdens.

    I removed a 350 Holley and put a Holley 320 Economiser on my 79RR and it never gave a problem, the 350 was a piece of rubbish, I can only suggest making sure you get the right one

    Hi all

    I just wanted to thank you all for you advise.

    Eventually I went to a RR specialist as the “Carby Bloke” I went to was less than useless, he thought it was the cam or something engine related, so actually less then useless is an understatement really; he then “Done me a favor” by only charging me for one hours labour!!!

    I had a set of manual choke carbys rebuilt & fitted up to now they are running great, a bit lean but that’s easy sorted.

    So ….. I’ll be keeping my strombergs for now.

    I've been running Stomberg CD carbs for over 35 years on various cars and never had any problems with them. They are a simple carb to work on. They need occasional replacement diaphragms and that's about it.

    The throttle spindle bushes wear but they can be replaced by a specialist.

    Putting oil into the dashpot is the biggest pain with them.

    HOLLY CARBS

    True ron.

    Good carbs, I can't see why so many carb experts and mechanics knock them, I to have used them for years, One of the best set ups for the bush apart from fuel injection.
