piman Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hello Vraksianrebel,you have the front carburettor of a 1975 2500 TC and the rear carburettor off a 1976 2500 TC.The only parts that differ between the two are the jets, AUD 9106 for the front and LZX 1120 for the rear, what practical differences in those I don't know? Ring Burlen services and they should be able to tell you. P.S., the rear should be a capstat jet, but it's possible that it has been changed anyway?Alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6boy Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The float bowls may be 'staggered' slightly, to allow for the rearward slope of the engine alignment in the saloon(IIRC?)Float chambers should have a part number clearly evident- again Burlen will be able to identify- or i can look when i get home?Check the current needles- they should have a legend on the side- easy to check.The piston spring can be checked for length when removed, this makes a difference as well.Is there an engine number for reference too?You appear to have 2500TC derived carbs, is it a 2500TC engine on the correct manifold or are these HS6 carbs bolted onto the GT6 manifold on a 2 litre engine? Trying to get it set-up properly implies it might not be at the mo- are you thinking the carbs are mal-adjusted or in a worn state of tune? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vraksianrebel Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 yeah the engine is from a 2500tc and the manifold is a 2500 one as far as i know, at present the carbs are in a worn state i suspect, the rebuild kit is on the way so hopefully that will help.thanks for the help after chatting to burden i think we have all the correct parts ordered to get the carbs matched up properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
