coln72 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 Bolted up a pair of "single" carbs to my 3KB manifold if you know what I mean. Did this to both of the 5k's I have had in the past and felt it worked well. Quote
Redwarf Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) In relation to the filter for the twin carbs, (I know I'm in late here) I used to use a Subaru one. I think the part number is A337 or similar. Carry on. Edited July 3, 2014 by Redwarf Quote

silverra23 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Posted July 9, 2014 This seems like an appropriate place to ask my carb question... My little KE15 runs a stock 4k.. i bought it will a weber 45 on it which was clearly much too much carb for a stock engine, so I have taken that off and it currently has a stock single carb on it. In the interests of gaining a few more herbs what is my best bet.. I can get hold of the 3kb twin carbs and manifold... can you still buy rebuild kits for them? And do two standard single carbs bolt up, or is there mods required to get them to fit on the 3kb manifold? Quote
parrot Posted July 9, 2014 Report Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) I'm sure the rebuild kits are common to single carbs but will check it on the parts book when I get home. It's only the choke/jet sizes that differ between the two types. I have looked previously and stocked up on rebuild kits from the US ebay guys like Vintage Imports & GWS rareparts. The bottom link has the accel pump also. Another aftermarket part number is AN101 which you can buy here in Aus at about 4 - 6 times the cost http://www.ebay.com....=item58ad619bcc http://www.ebay.com....=item418298a5b8 Edit, that is of course assuming you use KE1x carbs x 2 and not later Corolla carbs Edited July 9, 2014 by parrot Quote

Doing anything to the carb system won't have much effect if you don't do the exhaust and a cam grind as well. The 4K will run a 45DCOE just fine if you do the other mods, as they will run twin 40DCOEs OK. What chokes do you have for the 45? Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted July 9, 2014 Report Posted July 9, 2014 I used the 3K single carb kits (keystone, off Ebay), and everything fit. Quote

Garin Posted May 6, 2022 Report Posted May 6, 2022 Hi I have a Toyota 2t-b twin carburetor I'm struggling to set my carb when I turn the air mixture screw in till seated and back it out 1-1/5 turns it doesn't start if I set it 2/5 it starts but doesn't drive well if I turn it 3 turns its runs better but rich on fuel don't know what else to do anymore? Any help please. Quote
altezzaclub Posted May 8, 2022 Report Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Copy & paste what you wrote into a new thread for yourself... Anyway, first thing it to clean the carb internally, carefully remove the top and jets. I prefer to hose petrol through the jets and drillings with a plastic syringe, or use compressed air. You could use a can of carb cleaner. With twin carbs you have twice as much work to do! Once you're sure they are clean in the passageways the petrol flows through, reassemble them & try it. Screwing the idle mixture out increases the flow of fuel though it, and it controls engine power up to 2000rpm when the main jet has taken over. You might have other problems in there that the idle adjustment is covering, so check points gap & ignition timing too. Is there an air leak somewhere that the richer idle setting is compensating for? The motor should run at factory settings obviously, so the only things I can think of is a blockage in the fuel idle circuit, which opening the screw somehow compensates for, or extra air getting in that you need extra fuel for.
