Hi, Folks,
Is there anyone familiar with the early Rangie dual-carb setup? My carbs
are SU FZX 1316R. I have been unsuccessful in locating a rebuild kit for
them. I redid the fuel lines and tried to make the former trailing carb the
lead carb, to clean up the mass of fuel lines. It didnt work, and the new
leading carb shot fuel out the overflow. So I switched it back to the
original lead carb getting the fuel first. I ran the truck without the
mechanical fuel pump on to run the excess gas out of the carbs. I plugged
the fuel pump in, switched the power on, the carbs fill up and they both
shoot fuel out the overflows without the engine even running. So, I have
overwhelmed the carbs, and/or the floats, and/or the float fuel shut off.
The truck ran fine before I started monkeying with it, but it was running
rich due to the altitude difference.
I am interested in a rebuild kit for these carbs, as well as smaller jets
for the altitude. These carbs are not automatic choke, even though they
look similar to those shown in the Range Rover Haynes manual. They do not
have a mixture setting on the bottom of the housing, however, like the
manual choke carbs shown in the Rangie manual. Does anyone recognize the
carb? Are rebuild kits available?
Thanks for your time, Bren.
