Carb and fuel sender recommendations

Post by LarryK » Mon May 02, 2022 2:38 pm

Hello all,

Getting closer to sorting out the starting/running issues with my 1974 (Austin) Marina 1.8. I need a new carb and fuel sending unit, it seems. What would you recommend and where might I find them (bearing in mind I'm in Canada but I don't mind paying for international shipping if necessary).

Thanks!

Hi Larry

If by fuel sender, you mean the fuel level sender that’s mounted in the fuel tank, the owners club in the UK has a small stock of NOS units - contact David Balme on regalia@morrismarina.org.uk. Alternatively you might find that Skip Harris in theUS may have some.

As to the carb you should be able buy a specific rebuild kit from Burlen Fuels (they own the world wide rights to the SU brand). Your carb will be listed here. There should be a little triangular tag attached to one of the screws on the carburettor dash pot (dome), it should correspond with one of the numbers shown in the list at this address - http://sucarb.co.uk/cf/vehicle/list/?ma ... cle=Marina - click on the ‘View’ button for the details. As I said they can sell you a complete rebuild kit, they may also be able to sell you a rebuilt carb or rebuild yours for you.

I don't know why I didn't think of Skip straight away! Turns out he has those parts, of course. Thanks!
