i have a 1.6 pinto anyway some idiot has put an SU carb on it for "reliability", the problem is that i filled her up the other day ( 60litres ) and its just run out, fair enough u would think until i tell u its only done 275miles... FFS my cossie did that. any way neideas y it could be that bad? i think it running rich but that cant acount for it to be that low... is there any way i can lean it out as i have no idea where to start on an SU carb. the other option is to get a normal weber one, but i cant find one for the 1.6

someone please help please

 

havent got a clue

But i know carbs have to be set-up alot more often than injection. SO maybe worth getting it set up on a rolling road by someone that knows about carbs. There used to be a good carb rolling road in Sittingbourne (Kent) called BD engineering, they set my mates 1.4 Nova SR up on twin 40's and it went like rocket, i was very impressed, but wouldnt use them for injection cars

 

the thing is its a single choke carb, smaller than standard. one bloody barrell
im trying to get hold of a 2ltr pinto but none ever come up near me

 

get a webber off an XR3/XR2?

 

im abit worried about jetting. but i spose it wont realy matter that much on it as they both 1.6... cant be any worse than what i got already

 

i'd reckon prob the same carb if u get an early XR3 one...but either way it's gonna be better!!!

 

bttt for the day ppl
