New Carby

A little while ago on Ebay I spotted a rebuilt H1 Carby to suit my 53 Series II - a rare carby to find and this one had been stripped and fully rebuilt with all new parts by a professional carb company here. Couldn't resist it - just looked so good :D

I decided to buy it as my original has always been temperamental and I have found it hard to get the mixture just right. Well, fitted it last weekend and it had transformed the car :D. She now ticks over lovely and smoothly and acceleration is smooth and even. I am sure she is using a lot less petrol too :-)

Plus i now have a reliable spare to carry with me just in case of an emergency far from home :-)

Can't see why it would make such a difference - but - it works - so be happy!

Yes it looks amazing :D When it arrived I very excitedly showed my wife but she couldn't quite see the attraction.... :roll:

The old carby was the original, 57 years old and pretty worn. Also, joy of joys this one has a lifting pin! So useful to check the mixture.

Women (most) don't appreciate things like that! My wife is starting to understand - well she sounds more convincing than she did 35 years ago!
