Hi

My carb is leaking fuel, firstly im going to change the gaskets to see if this solves the problem other wise ill just get a new carb. Can anyone tell me how i can tell what carb i have (1977 mini 1000) or how to find out. I was asked this when i went to order the gasket set? I thought they where all the same. Im still a bit of a learner when it gomes to getting my hands dirty.

Many thanks
Blakie

Its probably a HS4 carb om a 998. you can get a rebuild kit from burlen fuel for about 35quid and that will make the carb like new, i did mine a few months back and it makes the world of difference.

I may have cured the problem, thanks anyway. I will still get the kit you where talking about.

what was it, float jammed?

Float was fine, found a bipe leaking onto the carb which made it look like the carb
