Re: Wanted: Carburettor for 1.6 1990 Driver Reply #2 – April 06, 2021, 04:50:07 PM It's a manual and I suspect that I'm looking for a Pierburg - whatever the standard fit carb on the vehicle is. This isn't quite a 'barn find', but it was SORNed and put in the shed by my father-in-law about 3 years ago. Before it went away, it was apparently nearly running, having benn diagnosed as requiring a new carburettor base plate.How could I confirm what model of carb is on the vehicle?
Re: Wanted: Carburettor for 1.6 1990 Driver Reply #3 – April 06, 2021, 05:35:33 PM Having done a little more research on this topic, it seems to me that it might be a little more prudent to get myself one of the PIERBURG 2E2 & 2E3 CARBURETTOR SERVICE/GASKET/REPAIR KITs and see if that helps before attmepting to find a whole new carburettor! At £40 or so, that doesn't seem like too much of a gamble.

Re: Wanted: Carburettor for 1.6 1990 Driver Reply #5 – April 07, 2021, 12:06:49 PM Don't forget to get a new carb base gasket. Before you get the rebuild kit, unless you definately need to, it might pay to fit the carb and see how it runs first.
Re: Wanted: Carburettor for 1.6 1990 Driver Reply #6 – April 07, 2021, 12:08:33 PM It doesn't really run - a few backfires and generally not a happy vehicle! Just checked, the kit I'm looking at definitely has a base gasket included.
