TRad Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 HiMy TR7 just failed its MOT on emissions today. Way off the scale apparently :BI know having had them part stripped last year that certain components in them were pretty worn out. To the extent that it has to be setup to run richer and idle faster to stop it from stalling.Mechanic suggested getting a carb overhaul kit which can really improve them. Any idea if this is the route to go down? The Rimmers kit is £80 which was a bit more than I wanted to spend, but then I may be being naive. Anyone know of any otehr places/parts worth exploring?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Andrew Turner charged me a lot less inc postage for a full rebuild kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piman Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hello tRad, there are a variety of kits, from a gasket and seal kit to a full overhaul kit which is quite a bit more expensive. Try Burlen for S.U. bits, http://www.burlen.co.uk/.Really there is not much that wears on S.U.'s, so are normally cheap to overhaul? It does sound as if a basic tune up is required which should improve things a lot.Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Agree with Alec, but do check the throttle spindles for excessive wear before you order anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Flexney Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 if the throttle spindles are worn you can get an insert. You will have to drill out the holes and put in the inserts. I would suggest getting someone to do this as you should NOT drill all the way through but from each side seperately. Problem is you need to make sure the holes are inline.AndyF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
