1" or 1 1/4" down draught carburettor

[Major Fallout]

I'm looking for a one inch or one and a quarter inch downdraught carburettor for a bit of a project.

Can anyone think what I might find one off?

I know the old land rovers were on down draughts, but I can't remember the size.

From my mine of useless information:-

Later US spec MGBs used a Weber downdraft and

Volvo Penta boat engines use a Solex downdraft.

Sorry I don't know the sizes but a bit of "googling" might help.

Good luck

I still have the original Solex carburettor from my Matra Murena 2.2, as it has been replaced with twin Dellortos to raise the car to Murena S spec.

Details of spec:-

Solex 34 CICF 141 (TAL 13116.000) twin-venturi downdraught.

Auxilliaries: 4.0 Venturis: 25 primary 26 secondary. Air correction jets: 190 primary 180 secondary Main jets: 127.5 primary 135 secondary

I might perhaps be persuaded to sell the old carb.

I hesitate slightly in case I want to sell the car with the capacity to return it to original spec. What does eBay throw up?

Weber 32/32 of some description will probably do the job, they were standard fit on a lot of things back in the 80s.

do you want single or twin choke?

Thanks guys for all the help!

A spanner has just been thrown into the works, there is now the idea of fitting 2 small side draught SUs.
