72mk1escort Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 My standard carb on my MK1 has been playing up extremely badly and now i cant even drive it without it dying/cuting out The good news is i have a twin choke webber carb removed from a 1300GT complete with the inlet which apparantly fits straight onto my 1100L is this true (if not what mods are needed?) Also i need to get a rekit for it and an inlet gasket and i just wondered what model exactly of webber they are on the 1300GT (eg 32/36)? Does anyone think the 1300GT carb may be to much for my little 1100HC 55HP engine? If anyone could help me out here i would really appreciate it
LEONMEX Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 i think the 32/36 was on the 1600gt (mexico) and 2.0 escorts. prob a bit much for a 1100. i have a twin choke on a 1300 & its a 32/32 rebuild kits are available still no probs.
72mk1escort Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Posted January 27, 2008 Anyone know if this will be to much for my little 1100HC 55BHP engine will it overfuel it or shud it be okay once set up properly? Also does anyone know the proper model name for the carb i have its a twin choke webber from a 1300GT MK1 Escort.
escort21 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 Put it on and adjust the mixture screw and see how it goes...whats the worst that can happen
Rick Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 as long as it fits the manifold mate. it wont fit on a single choke manifold though. get some carb cleaner before you dismantle anything though and see if that cures the problem. cutting out like that usually means you aint getting petrol to your engine properly also check your fuel filter too

escort21 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 Ive got a single choke carb if you want one...came off an 1300..
atomic punk Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 Sounds like a Weber 32DGV (or DGAV if auto choke) If you have the correct manifold it will go straight on but make sure the gasket faces are clean and its done up tightly or you will get airleaks and it will end up running like a bag of spanners If its jetted properly it will give you a bit of extra power
