Hello, Ive got an old Series 2a 2.25 petrol (I THINK) and the Butterfly pin on the Carb has broken. I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find anything. All the research ive done seems to say it should have a Solex or a Zenith carb. Someone must know about this any help much appreciated!

If the Butterfly passes through the spindle it's a Solex. If it's just screwed to the spindle it's a Zenith. If it's a Weber it should be the ich34 or 37.

It's not a diesel. Its definatly an SU, It says on it. I also noticed on comparing it to another Series II it doesn't appear to be bolted onto the standard position, its only bolted by two bolts. There are four bolts not in use on the manifold where the other series II carb i looked at was bolted on (which was a webber). Is it possible that someone has decided to fit this instead of the Zenith? and if so, should i just get rid of it and replace it with the original one? i did read it was claimed the SU would save your fuel , I will post a pic ASAP

the word 'and' seems to connect them all quite well in the sentence you used
