Two questions
« on: April 25, 2020, 07:05:16 AM »
Morning all
Two hopefully straightforward questions...
What is the length of the 4 carb overflow hoses?
There seem to be 2 different carb manifold rubbers but mine were in a box so I don’t know which goes where or the identifying difference etc - any clues?
Cheers
Andy

If I remember correctly as I had the same issue they are marked with 1 and 4 on one, with the other two having 2 and 3. I only spotted this on about the 4th attempt. I’m sure someone will be along shortly for the carb overflow lengths, I threaded them through and cut at what looked right. The bottom of the tube also needs to be cut at an angle.

Cheers,
Greg

Thanks Greg
The ones I have don’t have those numbers sadly,
Two are marked A76, the other two B76
Probably aftermarket ones
Difference looks minor but one pair are slightly offset at the engine face
Unless someone ‘recognises’ the markings I guess it might be trial and error time
Cheers
Andy

This may help. If you have no numbers the parallel insulators go on 1 and 4. The dog leg insulators go on 2 and 3. Dog legs going inward.

Thanks both,
After much searching (and squinting) I found the faint numbers - time for a visit to Specsavers I guess!
Thanks again, hopefully can get carbs back on next.

Cheers,
Andy
