Turbo carbs and plenums
Turbo Mini Forums

What sort of price is deamed reasonable for a 2nd hand carb (turbo one obviously) and plenum chamber. I have been ringing round the breakers and most are quoting ?40 for the carb and another ?40 for the plenum.

Does this seem exspensive to anyone else? I just wish burlan fuel systems would hurry up and start repoducing the turbo carb even though it would be expensive, at least you would know its in good working order etc etc.

Rant over

they already to BA? i saw in a mini mag ages ago that they had the tooling and were reproducing the turbo carb to original spec, was around ?200 i think

but i would pay ?40 for a carb, maybe for a plenen too, they are getting rare now

Sounds about right for a breakers price. Paid ?40 for my montego plenum IIRC. Burlen do list the turbo carb on their website, its ?220.



Oh, and hello forum

?80 for a turbo carb and plenum is very steep IMHO. Look to pay around ?10 for a plenum and ?30ish for a carb and inlet.
Nearly always one going on ebay, my mate bought one for about ?36 i think on ebay last week, carb, plenum and i think inlet manifold.

Burlen do make a new turbo carb for about ?200 as somebody said. If you get a second hand one the reconditioning by burnlen comes in at ?125 +vat or close anyway as that was 6months back. Rebuild kits from them are aorund ?50 for a full kit.

Welcome Minit

?40 is steep for a plenum, i've seen them on Miniclassic etc for ?10-15, which seems a bit fairer. Try checking some other forums "for sale section"
I bought a rebuild kit for my carb, it is excellent and well worth the ?50+ .
