    Hi,
    scraped some paint, and found the motor serial no, 186P440*** which with the help of a Holden site put it in a HK ( 68/69 )
    Also found the Carby no as 23-202B which made it a American made, Twin Barrel W model, Stromberg.
    Where would be the cheapest place to get a Carby kit for one of these ????
    Also, the best place for a fuel pump Kit, for the 186 ????
    Thanks for any replies.

    That carby is a standard Holden part though I think it was on later motors than that so those sort of kits can be bought from any of the usual suspects, Repco, Autobarn or whatever local parts place you have. Make a couple of phone calls and find the best price. I don't know if it would be worth calling a holden dealer, I have never bothered. Same goes for the fuel pump but perhaps take the chance to replace it with an electric one.

    Cheers,

    Bursons (if you have them up there), Repco, Rare Spares would be good for the parts you need. If not your Holden dealer should be able to supple them.

    Auto barn has Castrol 15w/50 for $12 at the moment,
    combined with a Z30 oil filter, would this be ok for the 186P motor.
    Super Cheap has Castrol 20w/50 for about the same.
    Which oil would be better ????
    Thanks

    Summer coming on, and where you live, the 20W/50, but in reality there is little to choose.

    Thanks John,
    Is the filler cap a washable item, as it seems to have some kind of gauze mesh inside it ????

    Hi all followers,
    Quick update on the 186 motor.
    Found a small wear mark on the rubber fuel line.
    It was under the battery, and only noticed it when changing the inline fuel filter. The rubber pipe looked damp, so I cut the piece out, finding a small pin hole inside.
    On doing this, my fuel pump stays full of fuel and doesn't drain back to the tank, any more.
    The rubber fuel line is quite hard, so bought some new pipe. will replace it over the weekend, right to the fuel tank.
    Had a look at the WW11 carby top, as it seems a bit damp. on of the top screws has done its thread. I have a tap and bolts so may take it out to the next size. It the one at the front of the carby, near the front LH guard.
    A longer bolt, with a nut on it may also work. as it passes through.
    Is this a common problem ????

    Like to nominate myself,
    Dumb Ass of the week.
    Spent quite a few weeks looking for the correct Air Cleaner base plate, the top has 186s on it, the Stromberg WW11 has a fixing bolt on the carby.
    Surfed the web, ebay, gumtree and called into 3 of my local wreaking yards. Online prices to expensive, no go with the wreakers, even after a call out, on the Hot Line.
    The Base plate I have, fowls the choke butterfly, and looking at the scratches has done so, long before I got it.
    I looked to see if I could hammer a small dent, so the choke could operate correctly, and the looked at the design of the base plate.
    DAof the W.
    someone before me had been running the plate upside down.
    Flipped it over, and even the new round air filter sits nicely, in a little recess.
