Carburettor Rebuild/Replace
Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2011 10:35 am
Hi all - this is my very first post!
I've just aquired a fairly tidy '81 316 Auto (my first E21!), but it has been sat up for a while and runs very rough.
Sadly I am about as mechanically competant as a potato, so have given the car to my mechanic (who used to own one back in the day!) who tells me that the carb is leaking air.
Would appreciate any information on:
- Rebuild kits, where to find them and how many hours labour this may take
- Replacement carbs... and again, where I would find them
- Potential upgrades (but remember that this is a 316 Auto, so any performance gains will be a little wasted)
Will post some photos in another section...
Thanks!
ASHLEY
