What Carb is this? and where can I get spares?

I think that this valve (needle valve?) is not shutting off properly when the float chamber fills up.



With the engine running (rough) fuel can be seen dripping out of this pipe into the throat of the carb.



Does any one know exactly what these carbs are, I've got twin carbs on my bus, and where can I get spares from?
Ta very much.

 

unsrew the valve there is probably a bit of dirt stuck in it preventing it from closing and overflowing through the pipe pictured, the carb is a 32-43 pdsit as it has on the side, heritage probably do spares

 

When I needed some rebuild kits for a pair of these I couldn't find them anywhere. I suspect a lot of the usual suspects have them but named something odd - I ended up getting the kits from T2D.

Cue the multiple posts of links to obviously named products from all the online shops.

 

I have a few of those carbs ,tell me what you want and I can send you the parts... 8)

 

Sometimes it`s the float ,it might have a little hole inside it ,I think that pipe is the overflow but not 100 percent sure..

 

Thanks for the info lef, I'll have a good look at the float tomorrow.

 

just for horts

Might be easier if I send you another float...

 

If your sure lef. Mine is round and I can get measurements if it helps. I'll pm you my address

 

ok mate, I will also go outside..lol

 

Get your float and stick it in a bowl of hot water. If it bubbles, you've got a leak.

 

The rebuild kits are stocked by heritage and are £25 per carb. They have the main gaskets and a new valve plus a few o rings
If you get a new float you wil need to set the height, the gauge for this is also in the kit
