Will the carb from a 750L fit a Sisley 4x4

Just the carb on this Sisley I'm viewing is overfueling so the Sisley dosen't run, but I've a spare carb from my 2nd Donor 750L and was wondering if a quick swap would see it all working ok (or ok-ish to drive)

Many thanks.

Jon.

not sure what the carb i got from erchin was that ive put on my 750 but i had to swap over the throttle thing that the cable turns, not sure what its called, but was easy enough

The 750L it's off of and this Sisley are the same reg as well. So hoping that's a good thing. Will mean it's one of the later Sisleys and not early ones like my current one

Should work but it'll be underpowered. The jets in the 750 carb will be smaller than those in the 4x4 carb as it's a smaller capacity engine. It'll run lean. That is, too little fuel for the amount of air drawn in on each stroke.

Ok. Ta. So it will be on the slugish side, or won't go at all? Will having the choke out a tad help then? Would doing this cause damage?

Running lean won't do any damage but if you want to swap carbs permanently you'd be better off getting a direct replacement.

Many thanks. No is just a temp to get it home if I buy it. Not sure if its a spares, or a repairs project yet if I get it. lol.

If the carb is over fueling is that repairable? New jets? Don't know much about carbs.

We're running a 750 carb on a cinq 1108cc engine and by god does it fly!

Can't see why it wouldn't run a 999cc engine...

But we had problems getting Sylvia to run but it's fairly cheap getting a car re jetted on a rolling road if it's not going too well

I always thougth they stuck new jets in but they use this thing like a cork screw that just opens up the existing jets a bit more till the car runs properly...

Not very high tec but hay, it's not a very high tec car, lol
