Title: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: smithymc on October 10, 2012, 08:32:49 AM In taking off my carb to have it re-built, I noticed the 'odd' action of the cable/rod linkage fixed to the cam cover.
On closer inspection it appears that some form of bushing has effectively disintegrated over the 28 years my car has 'rested'. Is it a case of making some new ones or are these available somewhere? Thanks Mark Title: Re: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: MattNoVAT on October 10, 2012, 12:22:27 PM Do you have a picture of the linkage section where the bush should go? I'll have a look at the parts book to see if it can be purchased individually and what the part number is. Failing that I'll have a look at my Coupe and take the dimensions from the rubber bush on there so at least you have the measurements so you know hat to look for.
I would guess that it may be a case of buyinging a multi-pack of varying sizes (Most motor factors have a "Wot Nots" rack) and finding a suitible fit. I assume its a Series 2 Face Lift with a Weber carb? Title: Re: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: smithymc on October 11, 2012, 10:15:15 AM Thanks Matt
I attach ( hopefully) a few photos which may clarify what I am on about. Mark Title: Re: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: MattNoVAT on October 11, 2012, 11:25:09 AM I think the part number for these bushes are 82329228 - two are required. ( Item No. 5 in the picture )
I checked Felix's website in South Africa and he lists them as available (although they are call Bush White Linkage and listed for a Beta Sedan) but at £4.57 each it might be worth a punt. Other than that your going to be looking for 2nd hand or an alternate part.

Title: Re: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: MattNoVAT on October 11, 2012, 12:40:03 PM Thats the fella ! And the bushes are white - so I think the PN is correct. But Geoff's part looks like the way to go!
Yaay Geoff ;D Title: Re: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: smithymc on October 11, 2012, 02:08:54 PM Fantastic. Is there a way to contact Geoff off-forum to buy the linkage ( if he wishes to sell it of course)?
I have seen reference to private messages, but I dont know how that works Mark Title: Re: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: smithymc on October 11, 2012, 02:22:17 PM Ignore last message - found the icon thingy.
Mark Title: Re: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: thecolonel on October 11, 2012, 02:48:42 PM Hi Mark,
Sent you an email, and a message and the pidgeon has just left as well. Geoff Title: Re: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: lanciamad on October 11, 2012, 04:20:39 PM You might want to try and source an original metal throttle linkage piece as well, (32, 9, 25,14 in Matts image) I wouldn't fancy keeping that plastic piece now you've got a good linkage/bushes from Geoff :)
Title: Re: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: thecolonel on October 11, 2012, 04:55:43 PM Mark,
Complete piece in the post. I may have the other pieces (32 etc) I'll have a look, What's the length of the plastic link ? Geoff Title: Re: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: smithymc on November 28, 2012, 05:01:35 PM Geoff
Sorry its taken so long - the plastic link is about 90mm between centres. To be honest, something I could make a little shorter would make the action nicer. Mark Title: Re: Carb Throttle linkage Post by: thecolonel on November 28, 2012, 08:41:45 PM These are the links I've found, lower one is fixed
length, upper is adjustable, I can run a longer thread if required. |
