[QUOTE="69calwesty, post: 428317, member: 19592"] thanks for the replies. A refurb could be an option - however the mechanic who looked at this said the part thats faulty is a non refurb part - when your looking at the carb from the back of the vehicle there is a circular plate about the size of a 20p above the manifold bolt. On depressing the accelerator this plate moves a tiny bit and therefore vapour is coming from it. I don't know what this plate does or if it is a refurb part? We believe this leak, along with a gasket leak at the carb-manifold below is causing the engine to not start (it's so nearly starting but won't no matter what adjustments are made) If this is to be the case and it can't be refurbbed ??? then i would need to buy a new one. If I'm spending £100+ should i invest more cash now and get a good webber single carb replacement and reap the benefits of a bit more punch? Any further thoughts would be apprecitated before i make a decision on what to do. If I do go for a Webber single port carb what should i be looking for and are these simple to fit/need setting up? Thanks again [/QUOTE]
