more info required please folks.
it appears there are two type of Webber carbs fitted to 2.5 petrols.......
one has one solenoid next to the fuel input - for use with mechanical fuel pumps.
the other has two solenoids (an additional one on the side of the carb) for use with electric fuel pumps.
It seems I have the latter fitted to an engine with mechanical fuel pump, so the second solenoid (the one that works) is not necessary and is something to do with the "starting circuit"!!!!!!
The solenoid which should work, but dont work (wire snapped orf) is a vent valve solenoid!
The carb is also supposed to dump unused fuel back to the fuel tank - but there aint no return pipe that I can see.
oodles of Questions....
duz anyone have a spare solenoid wiv the wire attached?
has anyone successfully repaired one of these solenoids (I am havin a go)?
are there any other diffs between Webber carbs fur elec and mech fuel pumps?
how is the excess fuel returned to the tank?
any ideas folks - piccies wud be nice too (coz I can understand them)
ps local stealer wants £28 fur a solenoid "if they arent obsolete"!
