Bump - this is still an item I'd be keen to find, if anyone wanders on here please let me know.

Bump. Still keen, if you have one let me know.

Hi all,

I'm after a tacho cluster for a B310 late series/kouki/square headlight model. This cluster isn't for the dash with the deep gauges but are more the flat single plastic front.

Here is an example of what I'm after (prefer km/h):

I have money or I can swap it for a series 1 B310 tacho cluster if interested.

Cheers

Okay - after today I got it up and running.

What I did was remove the hard fuel line and ran some fuel hose from the fuel pump to #2 on the carby. I then ran #1 to a bottle to measure how much was coming out.

Instantly ran fine and a bit was coming out of the return. I blocked off #1 and tried again and it doesn't stall now. Runs a teeny bit rich but it's okay otherwise.

The intake hose you are talking about was plugged, I just took this photo after the carby was mounted so there are thing missing (like the fuel line etc.)

It's off to the dyno next week to get tuned and rejetted as needed.

Thanks for all the help guys, you've been fantastic as usual.

Thanks for that - I'll give it a try.

I should add that I have printed out the wiki and read over and pretty much memorized it as well as anything else I could find.

The idle mixture setting that the wiki/redlineweber website describes is not on this carby. The idle speed is there but where the idle mixture screw would be is filled in (like it was never drilled out in the first place) so I'm guessing that on this model they relocated it elsewhere.

You can see a bronze screw just northeast of #3 in the picture, I assume that's the mixture for the 32 barrel and there's an identical one on the other side, so I assume that's for the 36 barrel?

Nope, throttle has absolutely no effect on the revs when it's stalling, which is why I'm lead to believe it's running gout of fuel, it behaves just like a car which has run out of fuel.

But I agree, no float window makes it hard. Apparently if there's not float window it means it's not something you adjust.

Tell me guys, I find two screws on either side of the carb, I'm guessing this is mixture adjustment for each barrel?

Okay I'm left with these ideas:

- swap fuel line from 1 to 2
- float is out
- jets/emulsion tubes are way off

It ran very well for 20 mins while we warmed it up, not just idle but once I got the idle mixture set (responded to setting very well) it picked up revs nicely. Even our first lap around the block was really good, picked up revs nicely. Second lap it started chugging in 3rd and stalled when I pulled over.

Now it doesn't run >20 seconds at all - not matter what...

Also the auto choke never actually chokes, even with the coolant running into it, haven't worked that one out yet...

Thanks very much for all your help guys.

We got it on and running today. It took some time to get it going to fill the float bowl but then I drizzled a little fuel into the throats and it fired up straight away. After 5 mins of tuning it was running sensational, picking up revs really well.

We took it for a drive up the street and it went pretty good, still needed a little fine tuning.

Then I took a shot and went up to the end of the street (about 500m) and it didn't like 3rd gear. When I pulled up at the end of the street it stalled (like it ran out of fuel). It started back up and drove back to the house, as soon as we got to the driveway, it stalled again.

Now after messing around with the settings thinking it's lean, it fires up and runs for about 20 seconds then stalls no matter what idle mixture setting I use.

Any ideas guys? I though maybe fuel pump but then it'd not start up... so float level?

I have no idea.

Thanks guys. I'll be working on it tomorrow, I'll see how we go.

Which actually reminds me I can't seem to work out where the fuel return is, there's something mounted on the firewall where 3 hoses meet and 1 runs from the back to the block, another to the second hard fuel line (next to the feed line on the body) and the third was attached to the carby. It's a little strange why it goes to the block

[EDIT] you can kinda see it in the background on the picture, with the smaller hoses running into it (not the coolant into the firewall for the heater).
