Club 80-90 Forums

I have had a few issues with my carb over last summer and most recently yesterday and the months running up to it

Back last august the jets got blocked so I split the carb and cleaned out the blockage and re assembled

The gasket wasn't the best going back on but it got me out of a jam

I split the carb down again yesterday evening after reading the forum and found that there should be a non return ball (missing I presume ;S)

I have prodded the hole with a bit of welding wire but its going right down

Should this ball be floating ? where can I get one from or use an alternative . A guy mentioned a simple ball bearing 4mm??

ordered a new gasket but need to find out about this non return ball before re fitting

cheers guys

not sure what you mean

does it look anything like this?

if so I'd say you have the wrong carb.

thanks for getting back to me so soon

That was the web site I looked at and your right I do have a different carb by the looks of things

Its a 1.9dg early engine and carb "c reg"

So you have a pierburg 2e3
Have a look on the side there will be a carb number starting with 025
You don't need balls

No... you need to clean that filthy floatbowl.
balls.. LOL

As soon as the gaskets arrive it will get a full overhaul

It's the first time I have ever took a carb apart to be honest , I have a spare to rebuild and test first tho good fun
