Re: [T3] Need New Carbs


Ralph, If you truly have 34 solexes on a 1600?cc motor then they might
be from a bus. The stock T3 carb is a 32mmPIC carb. They are very
simular to a T4 bus carb and do often get generalised by shops as being
the same. So if you do have the bus carb then that right there may be
your gas milage problem. It is set up to run a larger capacity motor.
Please find out exactly what the side of your carbs say so to identify
them.
