It's either a 38 or a 44, just measure the diameter of the bore to find out which.

one day boost will be mine!

Yeah, either a 38 or 44. Depends what engine, i wouldn't fit a 44 on a 998 unless its of a high tune. 38 will do on a standard 1275, but no good on a tuned one again.
Most likely off something else BL, but it could be off a whole host of cars! A carb is a carb, if its the right size, has all the connections you need and the right needle profile for the engine, then carry on!

Thought these could have been off a rover v8 but wasnt sure. Chap I know has some on the 3.5 in his lightweight. He had cone filters on his though. A lot of people turn to webers as the 44 Isn't good enough supposedly. If it can supply enough air for 1.75l of engine, It's more than capable enough of anything in my opinion!

It would work, you'll have to set something up for the choke though

There is a tag on it, if you type that code in you can see what it is off, I think that's on Burlen's website

I don't believe that search page! Apparantly a 1968 Wolseley Hornet 998cc has TWO carbs....

Thats because it is a search page, you type in the FZX number and it tells you the history!

Carl, well, I didn't make the website, just passing it on :) it seemed to work for a couple of metro turbo carb's I had so I thought it may have been of use!

The choke is just below the throttle, you'd just need to find the range rover abutment plate.

Not sure Joe, ours has a single HS2, an airbox with a cooper service sticker on, and we can't figure out the numbers on the head. It's remote change too.

Or, fit a mini one, but you will most likely have to drill and tap two holes into the body of the carb to hold the choke mechanism in place.

What are you on about?

Throttle at the top and choke at the bottom!
