High Jetter Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Cheapest replacement carb from a quick search is $275 in the US if the Haflinger one is the same, unless anyone has a lead on one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike D Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Can't you just send the carb you've got to a local engineering company and get them to re-bush it? Even if they have to make another spindle, it's bread and butter work for them, surely it's not insurmountable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket88 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Possibly a daft idea but….. throttle body and fuel injection from motorbike? Buy a scrapper and use ECU as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a scrapper and use ECU as well. That is an idea I'd toyed with, especially given the TBi kits can be got pretty cheaply these days. Though how reliable it would be given they are Direct From China No-Name specials for the most part would be the question. Also how much tweaking is possible via software? Given the target here is more mid-rsnge torque than top end power like on a bike, you'd definitely want to be able to juggle things. Which is why grabbing a factory system off a scrap bike and convincing it to fit would give me pause as it's likely tuned for a very different sort of power delivery.

I could re-bush it in engineering shop here - it's worn in other places, and the acc pump is seized/ragged in place. Been soaking for 2 weeks now....

LightBulbFun Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Smoll update just asked Big al how things are with fishing out a carb and he has informed he is currently taking 3 to bits to see if they are any good or not which im very thankful/pleased for as I was expecting knowing my luck to end up with a 2nd carb with the exact same issues as the original one, so unable to even combine the 2 into 1!

LightBulbFun Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 alright! I have just sent the moneys over to Big Al for payment of a replacement carburettor https://www.facebook.com/alan.hitchcock.71/posts/10225792285566492 and so should hopefully be with @red5 before not long I do note that it is a Weber 32ICS3 from an earlier Model 70 then REV, (REV has a 32ICS10T) I know a 32ICS3 will *run* a later 32ICS10T Model 70 engine TWC has a 1976 engine with an earlier 32ICS3 carb from TWC's original early engine, but I also know that TWC is a bit down on performance and I dont know if thats down to a potential carb miss match or just other factors so I hope the same does not plague REV! chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red5 Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 The suffix usually denotes jetting variations and so on. So shouldn't be too much of a concern.

barefoot Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I for one can't wait to see this on the road and the beginnings of the actual 'Touring Adventures of Lbf', Over the past couple of years, I've read shit loads and now know so much about the theory of inco-cars. Seeing one on the road, in daily use doing ordinary 'an car' things and particularly other proper, long distance adventures is something I'm really looking forward to reading about. Where are you planning on driving it to first? We could all meet you there... It might be yer actual automotive fun! LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Do you actually need to use choke on these? Or a few squirts of the accelerator to prime up the intake and go like on Webbers/etc, unless really really cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
