Carburettor Problem - Land Rovers Only

Tom Jolliffe · 11-08-2005, 02:22 PM

Hi guys,
I've got a 1978 2.25 Series 3 SWB, having problems with the butterfly flap sticking in the Webber carburettor. Got any ideas about fixing it, or does the carb just need taking off and a good clean out?
Thanks very much

I had that on my 62 dodge once...I was able to get by witha synthetic carb cleaner for awhile but i eventually had to just take her out and give it a good oncce over....Still working great..

Try a can of carb cleaner. You spray it inside the barrel and takes off a lot of the muck. Might work and for not much spent. I've used it before and cleans it up, although I didn't have any sticky parts.
