Hi all.
Just bought me a nice quad of NC23 bike carbs.
These will be fitted to.... well... my car, an old MK2 Ford Fiesta.
I want to make sure the connections i make are right, as it's my first time with bike carbs.
Some of them, i have no idea what they are for.

So attaching pics and numbers.


1. Throttle cable?
2. Fuel intake hose?
3. Fuel intake hose?
4. ?????
5. Vacum advance for distributor? (x4)
6. ?????


7. WTF ? :-P


8. ?????
9. Fuel mixture?


Why on one carb there are 2 holes and on the other just one ? (same on the other side)


Thanks for the help !

In the first pic #1 is the idle speed adjustment, #4 is the fuel inlet, #5 are the fuel bowl drain tubes. The other are vent hoses possibly for emissions I'm not 100% sure on those. #7 I don't know I'd have to check my parts diagram to see if something is supposed to go there. #8 is the drain screw for the fuel bowls shown on #5 there is 1 per carb. #9 is the mixture adjustment screw, also 1 per carb. Not sure about the last picture either I can't remember if my carbs are the same as those or not..

 

Thanks.
An other question, is there a way to get vac advance for a dizzy from these carbs?
or i'll have to do it on the manifold?

Thanks!

 

There should be a threaded hole in each carb with a screw capping it that's used to sync them.. you might be able to use that, but don't know how well it would work.

 

Do you have maybe a pic of it?
may be this?

 

I don't see them in the pictures, it's possible that those don't have them.. but there has to be a way to measure vacuum from each carb individually in order to sync them properly. However, it would probably be easier & might also be more accurate to just port it to the intake box.

 

OK, Many Thanks :-)
