do i need to drain the coolant when removing the carburettor

..as the autochokes a part of the cooling system?
And where do i get gaskets jets etc. for restoring the carb?

it's a JB 1500 transmission and a pierburg 1b3..

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

pop the autochoke off the carb and then you can remove the carb without disturbing the coolant

Jon.

either chubnuts or tierod on ebay is selling a kit suitable for 2e2 and 1b3 carbs.

even if you do take pipes off autochoke the water you would loose is minimal, so crack on

Thanks a lot guys, i will be taking the carb apart as soon as i get off work!
