okay, story so far; the DPO (dreaded previous owner) took the carbs and fuel pump assembly off the car (1974 series 2 4.2) and only disassembled the front carb, thankfully, yet that is enough to make me waste an evening sorting through the bits to make sure that all are there. seems like they are, yet there are questions about how the throttles hook together and where they connect to the accelerator linkage. anyone have some LARGE clear images of the CD175 carb setup, please post them to me or post them here, as well as, hopefully, the correct plumbing setup for the fuel pump and switchover valve. this evening's work began the soaking of the dried out leather with Lexol, and familiarization with (ah, mr Stromberg, so we meet again) cd175 carbs, nice, too, that they are equipped with manual chokes and not the troublesome AED,
will be delving into repairing the floor pans and get the solid.

one last request; could someone show me the trouble light column nomenclature top to bottom as most of the lenses are long gone.

 

Is that a Stromberg carby?
Can't find it in my SU book.

 

yep; they are Strombergs. simple enough little things, it's the thought that any stray bits get overlooked when reassembling them, and that i might get things wrong way round with the linkage that gives me apprehension. same with the plumbing in the boot.

 

Thanks, I somehow missed the above part .

Series 2 boot plumbing should be similar to my S1.

 

pulled the pump apart and cleaned the points; works a treat now. did the other carb this morning; need new bypass valves and an insulator before i can reinstall them. discovered the unknown-to-me secondary throttle setup... hmmm.

 

enlighten me; is the car supposed to have two pumps, one for each tank, or one pump and a changeover valve? your setup is tidy but i still can't suss the plumbing, and if i need to gather another SU pump....
