Carb rebuild

[Oddjob]

DS had the throttle return spring? They didn't last time I checked, did you get the last one?

Roo, you can come and finish my Alfa if you are that bored! (only joking!!)

What Alfa have you got Matt ? 

Back in the late 1960s I owned a Alfa Giulia 1600 Sprint GT I had it painted from white to metallic gold when I had some very rotten panels replaced. Beautiful car fully independent suspension, discs all round 5 sp box twin carbs - so much for a 1964 model. My mate had the later similar bodied 1750 GTV I wished I had the dosh back then for the 1750. I loved the later 2000 GTV as well.

Sadly my pics were lost in the fire.

Sorry about the topic drift.

I looked last night and there was no stock Ken, I did find a second hand one in the states but for an eye watering $56!!!............eeeerrrrrrrrr, nope

Ill give my pal Jay a shout after crimbo see If he can send me a reasonable one over out of the yard.
Incidently I chased that key and it was delivered but due tio something or other the farm has no comms at the minute and I dont have messenger so waiting for the net to resume over there and I'll bell him mate, I was expecting my box too so expectant!

I'll let you know what transpires.

Absolutely rammy but servicable.

Thats a winner Dean, what renumeration would you require for said 'unicorn poo'

Tim, are you seeing this ??

I think I may have bought the last NOS return spring last year Roo, found it in the states, I’m not sure if I bought 2 to reduce the postage costs, trouble is I won’t be using any of them as I broke a bank of carbs and the spring or springs are now surplus, cost me a lot as well, about £25 or so iirc

Just back from a very cold and wet Exmoor.....

Ted, it's  1972 Giulia GVT2000 - painted Ducati Red....

Nice one Matt they are unusual I think in that although they are an old car they had so many modern features they are still great to drive. They also have the Italian drivers DNA as  standard.
