Non standard carb
Devon-Rover:
Hi.
Any carb is better then the 34ICH on a series engine IMHO. but ypu have gone a step closer by getting the idea for a twin choke weber. Now a quick bolt on will be the 32 / 34 DMTL as fitted to early 2.25 and 2.5 petrol nineties, that came in the first couple of years of production. This carb will help give you a bit more poke and maybe a wee bit more economy as it is a bit more complex then the usual solex, zenith and weber that most 2.25's are fitted with.

Paddocks are doing the Webber kit's for £75, well worth it. Fitted one to my brothers series 3 out here in Australia & it runs so much better. :D

Does the carb look like this one?

You will need the spacer block jobbie to fit your webber to the manifold.

Since when is a 34ICH a twin choke weber? The *made to fit many engine....(badly)* 34ICH (which is single choke) is a renowned for being an awful carb for a Series with is carb freezing, bad jetting to be lean to get its 'economic label'. The stock genuine zenith in a serviced condition is much better. A lot of people replace a worn out. warped, knackered zenith with a 34ICH and get a miracle change in performance when in fact standing there pouring fuel from a can directly into the manifold would have been an improvement over their old carb. But the argument about the 34ICH and the Zenith is age old and all over the internets with no clear out come other than 34ICH sux :dance:
If the original poster finds he has any hope of mating that carb to the engine he'd better also see if it can be jetted for the engine to get it into the right ball park for running.

Sorry Mr know all train spotter, but i posted the wrong photo :roll:
As for the zenith being better than the 34ICH :lol: :lol:
Devon-Rover:
I have two 34ICH's in the shed. And that is where they shall be staying. [-X When my old zenith started to play up i went out spent the money on a new zenith and so far it has run lovely, coupled with a K&N it is a good setup. Pulls well, revs freely with a good pickup.
Search the web, ask the old sage and the weber will always bring up the same probs. Icing and running the engine lean.
I love it when they phrase it as an economy carb. :doh: IT IS A LAND ROVER.... If you want economy go buy a small car! Either way it's going to drink a gallon of petrol every 18 miles on average.
