Hope someone can help me

I have spent hours searching the net including this site and have not figured out what exactly this carb is.

I know it is a 1.75inch HIF carb, but it doesn't match anything else I can find.




It is for sale and I might buy it if it is something I can turn into a blowthrough carb for my project.
In NZ HIF44 carbs are quite rare so any help and advice I can get would be appreciated.

thanks

The problem is that it seems to have lots of bits missing, so if you did buy it it'd be pretty much useless.

It looks like it might be a later auto-choke version with all the auto-choke bit missing.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Thanks for the quick comments

Any idea if it would be difficult to get replacement parts to convert it to manual choke and replace anything else that is missing.

Might be worth fixing here compared to buying a HIF44 and shipping it to NZ.

Thanks

Looks like about 70% of one of a pair, by the time you have sourced all the missing bits you will still have a cobbled together carb split of a pair, better to get the right job, and probably cheaper and definately less hassle.
