28mm carby suitable?

Hello, just wondering if I was wanting a bit of extra power from my stock fiat 500 engine would a 28mm carby from a niki/126 fit straight on and would it make much of a difference? Thanks

Thanks Guys, I haven't bought one yet, sometimes difficult to find bits in sydney, would the original 28imb be the way to go??

28imb would probably the best way to go, my 595cc engine in mine does great on that type, theres no re-jetting required as far as i know.(y)
 
So just put in a 595cc with 28imb carb and I have this faint black smoke going on . Is this a fuel air mixture issue or should I change out Carbs.Oh and did I mention that I have a new motor because I dropped a washer change carbs in the old one so my knowledge is very limited.:eek:
 
There are usually three types of visible 'smoke' emitted from exhausts - all suggest problems.

Blue smoke = oil in the mixture. Usually from a worn engine with oil either getting down past the valve guides or up past the rings.

White smoke = either brake fluid in cars fitted with vacuum assistance (split diaphragm) or water (steam) entering via a leaking head gasket. Neither can happen in these cars as the brakes are not vacuum assisted and the engines are air cooled.

Black smoke = unburned fuel. Results in the engine running rich and is usually due to misadjustment of the carby - mixture incorrectly set, float not correct, wrong jets etc. A faulty fuel pump can also do this.

If the exhaust smells of petrol and you are blowing black smoke, check the carby first. It may just need a minor adjustment.
