hif38

Hif38 as said, and does look pretty much complete from what can be seen. All thought it would definitely benefit from a cleanup/rebuild

What is the black cylinder on the side of the carb?

[Ethel]

It's on the float vent, some hif's have solenoid valves, for overrun fuel cut, but I think it's an emissions filter.

FZX 1414 was the HIF 38 fitted to the 1982 onwards Metro 1.0 HLE.

Great information thank you.

So with a good service and clean up, could this potentially fit on to my 998 engine would there be an increase of power over the standard carb on a rover '92 998cc or would this hinder the performance?
