Technical New Carb For 1301cc Fiorino

[FIORINOVANMAN]

Hi! I'm the proud new owner of a 1990 1300cc Fiorino, which is great to drive for a small van, but is a bit tired in the carburettor department.

The original carb is a knackered 30/32 Weber.

The obvious choice is to fit another unknackered Weber carb.(Has anyone got one?!!) But I wondered if anyone has fitted a different carb to the 1301 engine?

I was wondering about an SU conversion especially. I got excellent results when I replaced a similar Solex downdraught on a Landrover with an SU a few years ago.

Anyone got any suggestions/offers/advice?

Try getting one from a uno ( i think it will fit?), or get in touch with Webcon for a reconditioning kit for the old carburettor

Thanks for your thoughts Christopher.

Update is that I have finally found a carb off a 1300 Uno.

I will soon see if it's any good!

Hang on a second, there is an L reg fiorino '70' in my local scrapyard. If that is the 1300 engine i will get it for you
