 Re: Noise - manifold/carb? apparently theyre prone to cracking james,
the plate is there to reduce heat transfer to the carb- don,t forget to order 2 paper gaskets as well, they fit either side of the plate -use a smear of jointing compound on the faces
there are 4 studs & they all need to be in place, if u only use 3 studs you,ll get an air leak

Re: Noise - manifold/carb? When fitting, don't over-tighten the nuts or you'll risk cracking the new one.

Re: Noise - manifold/carb? Ok cheers. This sounds like a simple question but can I replace the stud, or does it mean I have to put a whole new manifold on?

Re: Noise - manifold/carb? I #think# it's a straight forward job, but don't quote me on that

Re: Noise - manifold/carb? James, it's a stud, not a bolt and it will have unscrewed itself from the manifold, usually because late engines had no lock washers fitted to the 2 studs at the front of the carburettor. Add some poor maintenance to the mix...  Refitting it should be straightforward, clean the threads and wind it back in, but make sure that you've got 4 lock washers to hand before starting to fit the new spacer block. ken james2cv wrote: Urgh found problem.... Huge chunk of plastic carb base missing.... Along with a sheared stud bolt being held nicely in place by the bottom of carb.... WTF.... Ok so I'll get a plastic thing ordered.... Will the carb be alright with just three bolts for a while though? I've got a spare manifold but going to uni a week tomorrow Also... HOW THE HELL HAS THIS HAPPENED?
