As long as it's not a variojet and it's a pierburg 2e3.

hi, so the carb body is the same, but it may need rejetting, is that easy to do?

Post by **kevtherev** » 07 May 2010, 10:23

yes.
you'll need a refurb kit and prob new jets.

or at least robbed off a scrapper

so yes its the same carb body, but it will need rejetting, or rejetting and new jets?
