Default Can anyone tell me what carb this is?

I know it's really in the wrong place, but no one looks in the XR sections



It's on my 1.6 XR2 engine going in the XR3. I think its a VV carb and have been told its off a 1.1 or 1.3 the 1.6's all had twin choke Webers? It's a single plastic choke. Is this correct?

No it's not a twin choke Weber, its a single choke VV from what i can see. Just I've been told today by a customer they were used on 1.1's and 1.3's not 1.6's and is too small for my engine?

Definately a single choke from a 1.1 or 1.3 cvh bud. Is the engine definately a 1.6? Should run ok but a twin choke from a 1.4 or 1.6 or ideally an xr3 would be better for performance
