Taking the carb off
Turbo Mini Forums

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 :)

if you do decide to take the whole carb/maniflod off, just loosen the 4 inside manifold nuts and slide the whole manifold up, and the reverse for re-fitting, its a right bind and a half getting the manifold nuts on with the manifold in place...

if you are just taking the carb on the manifold, some of the nuts cant come straight off as the studs are too long and the nuts fould the carb body, so loosen all as far as they can go, wiggle the carb back, and then the nuts will come off.

Simple stuff, but knowing can save alot of trial and error.

Have fun

what about the fuel pipes, will petrol gash out.. thanks mate..

i find only a few drips if that comes out just try not to tip the carb or let the pipe drop.
it shouldnt come out like a tap or anything like that!

not all that much, if your worried about spilling fuel plug them up.

is that your engine bay in the above pic?

if so the fuel/boost signal pipes are very neat and tidy!
