1.3 standard airbox weber carb

Thanks, may do this,  but I meant plugging up the spigot that the breather attaches to and just putting a little filter on the end of the breather pipe, and letting it vent to the atmosphere.

Ahhh Balls
Yea i see what you mean now lol. sorry bud. Yea theres no reason why you cant to that, you can get like a baby K & N Filter to go on there, it will mist a bit so might make the area surrounding it in the engine bay a little oily

Yeh true.  I will probably pop down to Halfords and get a fitting.
Thanks.

The orange bit you'll notice has 2 pipes coming from the bottom of it - the one with a notch in it attaches to the vacuum diaphragm on the distributor - the non-notched one goes to the butterfly in the trumpet.

If you want, you can easily fit a breather filter to the crankcase breather - quite useful at times, 'cos it stops your air filter turning black like my lovely K&N has. all you need to do to the original hose union is hack it off and blank it with something - i used an old grommet I had lying around.

Out of interest, what's that heatshield made of? you've done a top job of it by the way  :read:

Cheers. Need to get some pipe to connect these bits then.
The heat shield is made from mild steel, but is painted with simoniz very high temperature paint. All I did was bend the corners in a vice, drill the two mounting holes, cut a hole with a hole saw,  and weld on the 40mm pipe which I cut the end at a 45* angle.

Got some rubber hose,  but there is already something plugged into the diaphragm on the dizzy,  that goes to the carb. Do I use a t piece connector or something?

mate, i just did this as the k&n and carb didnt like the frosty mornings,  i also have a webber carb so the way i ran it was like this:

vaccum hose from dizzy to bottom of carb,
notched outlet under airbox blanked off
remaining outlet under carb to butterfly in airbox inlet

i left the breather connection on the old k&n for the second

havent driven it from cold but it just felt a little slower from warm

how is yours driving now?

Thanks. Driving OK, I need to tweak the carb tho. Needs a little choke. I have to sort out the electrics first, the fuse box is out so nothing works haha! Job for the weekend.

yeh same, think i need to adjust the mixture as its working harder for air than it did with the k&n

where can I get a webber carb kit for a 1.3? and nice job you have done!

I'm selling mine, wasn't working for me. I've got two in bits plus the conversion stuff. Both really clean. You would need to sort out jets, as what I have is a bit of a mismatch. I can tell you which jets you would need though.

Or you can get them on ebay, about 200 quid or something.
