Carb Swap = ???
« on: February 08, 2006, 07:47:22 pm »
Just want to be sure I am covering all bases. What do I need, where can I get it from...

Carb - obvious
Fuel line - 3/8 braided - can get from www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk - unless someone knows where I can get it (about 2m) cheaper
Fuel Filter - USAutos
Fuel pressure reglator - Already have, but need to check connections
Hose clamps - easy
Gasket - might have, but USAutos should be with carb

Is there anything else I should think of getting, as either a must have or a 'just in case'?

Would expect the carb to come with a gasket mate

might be worth getting a couple of meters of vacumn line too - you never know if you are going to find a perished one, and its laughably cheap..

also be sure to check ALL fittings are removed from the old carb... when we put ryans carb on, thhe vacumn hard line at the back of the carb just wouldn't mate up, and seemed routed akwardly...

we had alsmost resigned ourselves to the carb being a different thread, when i tthought to check the old one.. sure enough, the line screwed into a fitting, that was screwed into the carb!

Sounds like everything to me, Mate.
