dougbgt6 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Oooooo! Rust! My favourite. The tag Richard is referring to is a little brass label attached under one of the carb screws. It'll be on just one of the carbs, but I don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hello Robin. These brass tags, now seen less and less, are attached to the dashpot by one of the screws, so in this case it's a no. They have a unique number that refers to the carb application for that vehicle, needless to say as carbs are often swapped the tags lose their importance. The following website is excellent and what this person (Eric) does not know about carbs and needles etc. it is not worth knowing !! http://www.carburettorspecialists.com/CHLAUG2016.htm Regards.

Robin Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hi Richard - yes, think the tag has gone AWOL at some point. I'm pretty sure that the carbs are correct for the engine but I'm interested in knowing the main difference between a CD150 and a CD150s . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Pete. That's the sort of pin point information that is so often missing in books and other applications; yet which is so useful to persons wanting to know that technical detail for the very reasons Robin has flagged. Nice input !! Regards. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Just added an edit Richard its always bugged me that so many manuals avoid or miss out some simple basic data Seems often just the bit youre looking for is .....left out Pity you couldnt make twiddle day ,,, a good laugh Im amazed what creeps out the grey matter,, wish I could fix this silly tablet, and give the laptop a good talking to Ha Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have a Haynes manual entitled "Webber Carburettors" A bit misleading as it also covers SUs and every variety of Stromberg. Information is out there, somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynebaby Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 There's also a Haynes manual published in 1976 specifically for the Stromberg CD carbs. Copies appear on ebay occasionally, which is where I got mine a few years back. Needless to say it wasn't £1.95! The ISBN number is 0 85696 300 3.

Gully Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have that Haynes manual - an eBay purchase for £7 a couple of years ago, so 10x inflation over 2 years is satisfying! ? I'm lucky that my carbs still have their brass tags attached, which meant I could be happy they were correct for the car (that and the fact the car runs fine!). That said, no idea if the original B5BT needles are still installed after all these years. Gully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Pete. Your link worked for me. Glad all went well with the "Twiddle Day" - as you know could not make it due to holidaying in Cornwall. Hopefully another TD and if so I will ensure no double-booking !! Regards. Richard.

dougbgt6 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 On the day we had a BBQ, you couldn't see Pete for smoke! Burger in a bun, sausage, salad and beer, all for £3.50. Cunning move offering beer, we were all driving so only a few takers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
