is it a Pierburg 2E2???
If so, that's your problem. Get a Weber 32/34DTML (£50 off ebay) and fit that BUT DON'T FORGET TO GET THE HEATER BIT OFF THE PIERBURG........ Weber gives better MPG, better throttle response and better reliability...... No brainer really. I have installation instructions if you get one without the instructions. Steve |

Do a search on both "Weber" and "Webber" on ebay.
Like I said, if you need instructions, give me a shout. Cheers, Steve |

If it hasn't got a manual choke (and handle near the steering wheel somewhere), chances are its a Pierburg.
Pierburgs are very advanced, and great when they work, but a nightmare when they go wrong. PS got any piccies??? |
