Replacement carby

[numpty]

Does anyone know where I can source a replacement carby for a S1 in or around Brisbane. I understand that all S1's have the same Zenith, with different jets for different engines.

The carby on Leon, (a Zenith) is not the right one, and uses more fuel than I believe it should. And yes, I know they can be thirsty. I have been given the name of a company in Sydney that I will try on Monday (Indian made Zenith) but was hoping for something closer, as I'd like to have it fitted for the trip to Cooma.

Yes I know there are a myriad of carby's that probably fit, but I would like to keep it as standard as possible.

The Series 1's all had a Solex 32PB carburettor.

I have pasted the data of the jetting below - however it is out of format, so you will have to cut and paste it into another document. Or look at the page in the Trans Tasman Groups files section.

There is a reproduction carby made in India under licence to Solex, however as it is set up for a WWII Jeep you need to fiddle with the linkages a little. Master Chief knows where they are available.

Thanks Diana.

Master Chief informed me Hiltons replacement carb on his 80" was an Indian Zenith. A mix up I expect, and yes, he did tell me where to get one and that's the one in Sydney. I will try them tomorrow.

I've actually got an original on my 80", but think it's a little too far gone for the moment.

Hi there Diana

Your experties amaze me - you have just solved a little problem I have been having with the Fire Engine (running a little rough).

When engine governor is fitted to 1955-58 models, spec 1560 with alternative jets is used * Engines numbered 860001 to 861871, except those with governor

Theres different jets in the carby when the vehicle is fitted with Govenor.


Thanks

That is why we have kept the Yahoo Website for the TTS1 group - all there either in the files or the database sections. Always trying to add more.

as it is set up for a WWII Jeep

WWII Jeeps, Ford and Willys, use a Carter carburettor.

I have no idea if you are right or wrong about WWII Jeeps - however I have been told that it is set up for a Jeep, (I assumed WWII) with wrong linkages for the Land Rover. There is a thread somewhere with the modifications required for the conversion.

Perhaps it is one of the Indian made jeeps of the 1950s and 60s who knows.

Well, I've had a look at the carby on the 80", and provided I can get a kit for it (4WD's in Melbourne list one), that might be the way to go. And yes, it is a Solex 32 PB, and with the jet sizes so kindly provided by Diana, we should be in business.

Why do you think I have a bunch of "Experts" hanging around? (called the experties*)

Actually it is most likely to old adage - "the empty vessel makes the most noise"!

P.S. * That one's for Ron "P38arover" otherwise it would be expertise.
