General twin choke anyone?

I've now got four of those :eek:

There are two spare Uno 70 Webers somewhere in the shed (or is it the loft? They're around somewhere! :eek:), one on my 70SX Uno and look at the picture below. I bought a Uno bonnet, tailgate and set of chrome hubcaps off Ebay for £1. The bonnet is very rusty on one edge, the tailgate is ok but has a dent and the four chrome hubcaps are not for a Uno. I knew that about the hubcaps as I wanted them to hang on my wall :)

When I went to pick up the parts the seller said he had some other Uno bits. He threw in a brand new mk2 parcel shelf (still in bubble wrap!), a sunroof of unknown origin and I couldn't believe my eyes when he showed me a BRAND NEW WEBER TWIN CHOKE CARBURETTOR! Still with the factory blanking plugs!

I asked him how much he wanted for it. He said nothing, he was going to throw the bits in the bin as no-one seemed to want old Uno parts. I said that I didn't mind giving him something for the parts and he said that he was just happy that someone could use them.

So for £1 I got all the above along with a brand spanking new Weber twin choke. Bought new they cost something like £150 - £200 :eek:

I feel very lucky :)

uno45, that sounds like an amazing deal!

I very much think so! I shall find out how much of a deal it is when I get a chance to fit it (got to wait until I finish my semester at University). I suspect the current carb I have is faulty (over-fueling, poor fuel consumption, dodgy choke etc.) so I'm hoping the new Weber will solve all those issues. For £1 I'm still very pleased :)

And Panda4ted, a Sisley 4x4 won't have a twin choke carburettor. It will have the single choke Weber 32TLF ;)
