I had a Weber (new) fitted to my S3 2.25 petrol by LVS after they overhauled the motor for me.
Starts very well (needs the choke every cold start though), runs and idles well (500rpm easily), top end performance (if you can use that word in the same sentence as 2.25 LR engine) is good. Cost about $300 from memory. I would fit one again.
Regards,
Put a Wanted ad on Gumtr** for a Zenith. Chap in Brissie has one off an army L/R. What's a fair price? He says everything that should move, moves, i.e. nothing is seized.
I have a holden carby on my series 2, 4 cylinder and it runs reasonably well on flat ground but it isn't able to handle the slopes. Speaking to a few older fellows that holdens carbys where good for about 12 degrees of slope and after that you where in trouble.
I have already purchased a second hand webber carb from a series 3 and it will be fitted at the next overhaul of the car.

Here are a couple of options
Land Rover Series 2A 3 Zenith Copy Carburettor
and another
Land Rover 2 1 4 Litre 4CYL Zenith 36IV Carburetor NEW Replacement Carby | eBay
there are plenty of them out there in ebay, just have a look, cheers Dennis
ps if you go down the road of using the carburetor that you have, you will need an 'adjustable main jet' for it, cheers,,.
Last second hand one I got I paid $5 for, but admittedly it was not in good shape!

Yes I saw those Dinty. The first is the Bearmach one and the second is a Britpart. Assuming they are "different" and not just differently boxed, has anyone any experience with either of these?Quote:

This was purchased from brand new from England.

Yes, the SU is supposed to be a good conversion, but as you point out, it needs a special manifold, so it is not going to be cheap!
