Rebuilding carbs
Turbo Mini Forums

Is it a big job to rebuild a carb, i mean like is there a lot to go wrong? Ive never done one before, but fancy having a go with one of iains rebuild kits. Just wondering what the instructions are like or if you have to have experience to do one.

It's a piece of cake.
You don't even need instructions (just as well, coz there aren't any), just take it apart slowly, noting the orientation and location of seals and things...

just did mine,take digi pics of every part before you strip it,take your time,keep everything clean and tidy.

There is instructions, well sort of! lol! There ok if you use some common sense.

its not that bad, i just took it apart and laid it all in a row. Seal orientations etc are shown in the instructions just for reference.

Sauber used one of the same kits ( as i posted him it! lol!) so he knows better than most as mines still waiting to go in the ultrasonic bath at work tomorrow.

I've got copies of instructions from SU

I can scan them and post if you like

Yeah i have too. Well the ones that are in the kit, pretty sure there is something on mininfinity about rebuilding an SU in general which may be useful. Saw it on MC not that long ago.

it all went fairly easy,no probs the kit iain sells
has everything and more.lol

That mean you had some bits left over?! lol!

Im doing mine tonight, just having the bearings pressed in/out today at work
