Ian Faulds Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Does anyone have one of the cream plastic covers for these little units. One of mine is missing and ebay only has ones from the u. S. A (expensive) or an old nact carb with one on. I don't want to go to the expence of buying another set of carbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Faulds Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Thanks but they don't have in stock. I'll be more than happy with an old second hand one if anyone has for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Sorry Ian, just popped in the garage to check and with regret I no longer have it. Good luck with the search. Regards. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hello Ian, May be a long shot, but might be worth giving this seller a shout to see if he has what you are looking for; he / she is selling a large job lot of Strom's. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STROMBERG-CARBURETORS-JOB-LOT-20-PLUS-150-CD-CARBS-AND-PARTS-TRIUMPH-MG-HILLMAN/183612135049?hash=item2ac022d689:g:dE8AAOSw7MNcKPyD:rk:2:pf:0 Regards.

Pete Lewis Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Apart from making it pretty the cover is of little overall importance and the bi metal strip is best adjusted to be permanently shut You dont want it opening at normal,temp or you never set the mixtures You could just delete the temperature housing and plug the air holes up Rimmers list stock of covers for stag I cant confirm if the 175 has the same size cover , just a thought Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Faulds Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Thanks for that. I thought it would save muck getting in but I bow to your experience. I'll have a look at rimmers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Not really there should be two 0 rings on the comp body one at the face of the snout and one in the bore If you remove the carb the gasket has a bleed hole , turn gasket over and you block off the air bleed for good Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Faulds Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Thanks Pete. Rimmers want a tenner plus vat and delivery. I'll wait. Might fall in lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 after all it is just a 1970s idea to reduce idle emissions and lean off by bleeding air past the throttle plates when it starts to get over heated and needs leaning off . a way of solving sniff test results of the day , once you open the throttles the vacuum drops and the circuit stops . the idea was over run in the 80s by vacuum operated thermac air filters where the incoming air temp was balanced between fresh air and hot off the exhaust to maintain 70F at the carb pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Foster Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Ian You didn't state what carburettor it is for, but I have one on a spare 175 CD-2 which measures 69.5mm overall. Let me know if this is of interest. Ian F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
