Non standard carb
James.Harwood:
Ran the Webber 34ICH for years, mu only gripe was the "frosting" in the winter.
Now running an SU HS6....... if you got the money get one :lol: available as a kit from ACR
TBM:
Also ran a 34ICH - never had any frosting problem despite living in the depths of the welsh mountains. Put it down to the kenlowe fan not providing excessive cooling.
Coupled with an ACR stage 2 head, regularly got my old lwb s3 up to 85mph, so not trouble with fueling either.
Still, the t'interweb says that the Zenith is better.
Devon-Rover:
Well i do have a HIF 44 in the shed, nestled up to a 32 DMTL that needs a rebuild. Just trying to find the appropriate manifold to bolt the SU on.
Rich_P:
I binned that 'orrible 34ICH in favour of a Zenith copy. Much improved performance throughout the rev range, particularly at the top end. But, it seems the Zenith isn't particularly keen on steep sideslopes to the right, I've had my engine almost die several times and it always appears to be from flooding at that angle. Don't suppose it's down to the float would it?

Why not try it with the Zenith if you can? Might make it go even better! Or better yet, an SU! :cool:
mobi:
my old series had a zenith carb which was alot better for power than the webber carb, but the webber was better for fuel.
if anyone is intrested my friend has a su carb (powerplus) and a four branch manifold for sale.
