I wonder if someone on this forum is actually busy with a project like this?? :thinking:
If not, and they own one, or know someone that owns one, it might be a good idea to buy a spare pair... :dunno:

 

[CLASSICMAN]

I've got a set tucked away in a box that I have no plans to use. They need a rebuild, but the kits are available. I'd be willing to let them go for a good ti project.

I am doing a 2002ti restoration at the moment, still some way from mechanicals, doing the bodywork now. But I might be interested. The rebuild kits for these are quite scarce and though and as these do not have main shaft bearings it is very expensive to restore if the main shaft is worn.

In what condition is your carbs Classicman?

These carbs came off a 2000ti, not a 2002ti. You can see it from the plenums.

Just for intrest sake.

Its still the same carb and jetting, just the plenums differ. So its not really a problem.

@Cyclone - Not sure of the condition, came with a car and a lot of spares I bought some time ago. They look complete though. The carb kits were off the market for quite a while and I see they have become available again. Check on eBay in Germany (.de)

I will see if I can take a few photos of the carbs tonight and post them for you.

I saw the kits, thank you. My biggest concern however is the main shaft, if it is worn, the accelerator pump and throttle butterfly do not work linearly anymore and makes it impossible to set up and jet properly. The car will run, just not well, esp. at lower RPM acceleration. Its also an expensive fix unfortunately.
