WHICH CARB?

I see no carb or link.

Carbs are not the simpliest things to build...
But take your time, and you get there.

I rebuilt mine, (HIF44) and it wasn't the easyiest thing I've ever done... but it works

It must be one of those stealth carb's i've heard about

Yes that carb will be fine Bam, BUT wolfie has one for sale and it ebay will push that price up to over 35 quid i reckon.

i was begging for a carb on here last week and 3 people had hif44's from £15 upwards.... buy the time i got the offers i had spent £80 on a vizard reconditioned one off ebay... bloke seems to know what he's doing... i hope.

Keep watching that ebay one and see if you can sneak a cheeky bid in at the last second.... or keep waiting, there's 1000's out there!! i have another one but it has no linkage and i can't be bothered messing with it.... will be on ebay next week.

Theres a david vizzard modified carb on ebay at the moment for £50.

I bought a Vizard modified one of ebay for 20-something quid a while back for my old clubby, probably the same chap selling them.

There was no O-ring in the bottom of it though so once I fitted it fuel piddled out the bottom all over the manifold - nice!

Once that was sorted it worked great but as the old one was stuffed I can't really say how much better it'd be than a standard one in good nick.

Yellowsweep is they guy who I got mine off - just had to check from the feedback I left.

[Bam]

the guy selling another carb is called yellowsweep aswell, is it a good carb? is it worth buying for £50?

Thanks.

Don't know what HIF 44s are fetching at the mo so not the best person to ask - sure I paid under £30 for mine though (albeit a fair while ago). Mine worked fine, a masive improvment over the knackered standard one - don't know about a decent standard one though!

Check around - if they're all around the same money then I'd go for this one as I reckon he's less likely to bother doing the work to a dodgy carb than someone is to just sell a dodgy carb (if you get me).

Check the O-ring though.

Yellowsweeps who i got mine from. he's doing me one for £80 including postage and a Vizard'd Manifold
(carb £50, Manifold £15, postage £15 including insurance) Seems to know what he's talking about.... i'll check the o ring just incase!!!! he also has a set of twin 1 1/4" Su's if you ask him.
