James, I think I have something interesting for you, 9 pages from Volvo France where you can find the explanation to adjust that carb. These are official documents used for the 345 Rsport. You want that?

Yes, if you can translate

webber,solex or dellorto's-40 or 45's ??
strange that the trumpets are different sizes-something to do with the filters/filter box?

should give it a nice induction note none the less

i would take them when fitted to local agent/dealer to set up as it aint easy-on my old minis i used to use a hose pipe and listen to try and balance em correct!! never worked but when you set em up from scratch it gets them close enough to run.....
should put a few more horses under the bonnet too !

what engine do you have as 45's may be toobig on a 1.4/1.7 unless they got small jets in. i would overhaul them,kits easily availible and polish em up inside and out,gets the fuel and air flowing good + they look orgasmic when you lift the bonnet

might work straight off - the carb that you got for me was perfectly tuned from the off..

I haven't checked, but I think they're Solex 40s (thats what came in the R-Sport kit). I think the different length horns are indeed related to the airbox - which I won't have, so I hope they're adjustable! A B200 is a 2.0, so I figure 40s are more or less perfect. I'll certainly be getting them set-up by an expert - even is they are from a 343 R-Sport, the cam is different.

I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing with them - it rather depends on exactly what they are when they turn up. I have a friend who desperately wants a set of these (and has been looking for a lot longer than I have), so I might sell them on.

cheers

trumpets are cheap enough for some nice shiney ones,but it depends on what filter/s you put on, for the length etc.
another thing if you fit them is be carefull of brake servo,you get a far far better vaccum from injection than the carbs....does the r sport have a different master cylinder/servo???? i think on the inj you have all 4 cylinders creating vaccum(?) and on the carbs you only have 1!?

I have a B200K, so I have a carb ATM. The vacuum may well be a bit weaker though, as my current setup is the result of the vacuum from all the cylinders, not one.

I'm back, and have just been stunned by foggy's find, so when you gonna fit it then? And what was it off?

Cheers

'bout bloomin time! Are you coming to the meet or what?!

eBay

I'm pretty much certain they're the ones from a 343 R-Sport, but I haven't seen them in the flesh yet, so I can't confirm.

Whether they get fitted any time soon rather depends on whether or not they have chokes...we'll see...

cheers
