Bonjour all... lol
Right then.
I want to take off the carb. would it be easyer by taking the inlet manifold off, which will take the whole lot off inc the carb.. would that work ?
Plus in the pic, would the petrol come flooding out.
Thanks

hello mate. easiest to take the carb, manifold and plenum chamber off in one. one my turbo inlet, the manifold can lift upwards after only slackenening the manifold bolts. You may need to clamp up the fuel inlet pipe if the tank is anywhere near full, or plug the end with something.
dont turn the ignition on tho, as i your electric fuel pump will empty the tank in your engine bay!
