Toledo Man Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Can anybody recommend a good place to have my Stromberg carb (off the 1300fwd) refurbished? Is it even worth doing or should I have it replaced? I'm not looking for extra power so don't say "fit a TC manifold complete with twin SUs" or anything like that. I just want the original item.

Greeks Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Andrew Turner provided a decent service for me - he's based in South Witham, just off the A1, and is a Triumph fan himself - he sells at all the shows, so if you sent him your current carb. you could pick up a recon. at the show. Try these sites:http://www.su-carbs.co.uk/clientph/brmm4.nsf/supppages/turner?OpenDocument&part=4use the search to find the exact match on this site ... you might even find that you've got an incorrect one at the mo.http://www.burlen.co.uk/burlen-user/default.asp?Category=burlen&Service=Parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Andrew Turner seems to get good press. www.su-carbs.co.uk DOn't be put off by the "SU" address, I'm sure I've seen Strombergs on his stands at shows.This work won't be cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 http://www.su-carbs.co.uk/phdi/p1.nsf/supppages/turner?OpenDocument&part=2Andrew's proces - £75 for a Herald 13/60 carb - that's virtually the same as yours so I would think the price is going to be the same.

Greeks Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Yes Jason, but ... you take a tenner or so off the price p/ex.Note that I believe he does much of the recon. work for the 'big' suppliers as well, so if you try some of them then you'll be paying a bit more on top.

Jason Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Almost certainly he does, his stuff turns up everywhere - I recently had a pair of 2000 Strombergs that I punted out on ebay, they cam with a car a friend bought but where Andrew Turners, still had the label on them I think.He does a good job. Apparently he also buys in old core so if you've got a pile of old carbies and manifolds you want to shift, talk to him! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 He does, cos i sold him some SUs off a saloon ;D well, he knocked the price off of my sparkly ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledo Man Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 Yes, Jason the Herald 13/60 uses the same carb as the 1300fwd (i.e. Stromberg 150CD) and it seems that Andrew Turner charges the going rate. My workmate with the Herald 13/60 convertible is paying £75 to have his carb done and I was quoted £75+ by a local place (Soutar & Rhodes for you fellow Bradfordians) to have it done.Isn't that strange?

Jason Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 There's a lot of factoring goes on where people sell out at a recommended retail proce but all the work is done in one place - it wouldn't surprise me if Andrew Turner does some of those carbs anyway! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
