Weber carb accelerator linkage backwards?

[acpatsouris]

Hey navydevildoc,

Was the carb you removed from your Rover an old Solex? Series II and early IIAs came equipped with Solex carbs that had a throttle arm that moved up when depressing the accelerator pedal. When converting to a new Weber (whose arm is pulled down) in addition to installing the adapter base http://www.roversnorth.com/store/p-6...nith-carb.aspx you also need to change the bellcrank http://www.roversnorth.com/store/p-1...s-iia-iii.aspx in order to change the direction that the arm moves.

Hope this helps....I'll be online for awhile tonight if you have any additional questions.

Oops...don't know what happened to my links. Here they are again:
In addition to the bellcrank I forgot to mention a new spring to reverse the tension on the linckage.

See numbers 16 and 25.

OK, now we are cooking with gas!

I went back and looked at the packing list, since Eric knew I was pulling off a Solex. Seemed like a rather large thing to forget. Plus, I had gotten a spring in the box that I had to idea what to do with. On the packing list *is* the bellcrank!

So I went back through the shredded paper packing, and sure enough there is the bellcrank!!! So now I just have to get it on there. Sure enough, the spring is part of the bellcrank assy.

Once again, Rovers North is saving the day!

I was on checking the forum and nicked a whole ton-o-spam, then read your plea. I IM'd Arthur (luckily he was on...) and you just received special Rovers North customer assistance all the way from Vermont > San Diego at 8pm on a Saturday night. We are here to help.

Which is why EVERYONE recommends Rovers North!

This happened to be my first order, but you guys have a new customer for life.

I did something like that once, too. Ir was time to complete an annual ignition tune up on the II-A and ordered the parts required from RN. I went through the box and started the job. Just as I"m almost through I realize there is a part missing.

I summoned up my best "stern lecture voice' and called; since it was after 3 pm, I knew the part would be a couple of extra days arriving. I let it be clear, with firmness, that as the Editor of the Rovers North News, this sort of thing should just not happen. After all, it even said on the packing slip that the missing piece had been shipped.

Eric handled it all with aplomb and stated he would research the problem and get right back to me with information. Meanwhile, I set to emptying out the box of all the shredded paper packing and - oops - there was the missing part.

Meanwhile, Eric called me back to apologize for the potential error, but also to note that the shipping crew even remembered the order and suggested that I should look carefully through the box.

"Ahem..." I stammered, I had already and I had found the part. Ever want to take back a phone call?
