WTB: Alpha carb

[Adro]

Hey guys does anyone have an old Alpha carb ? i got one that was smashed by Australia post and broken the high speed needle case clean off.

[redcatster]

Can you use another brand one

[Adro]

ive gone through my old motors in the shed and i can replace the complete carby with a ninja or O.S one but i didnt want to use the ninja one as im going to stick a new piston and sleeve in the motor and use it as the my spare. What old motors do you have kicking around trev??

Will a 3 needle carb off a HPI 4.6 fit? I got a spare

Bet you wish you never sold me that speed carb a few months back

Adro, i have an LHS that sells the Alpha's. ill check it out and see if cani get a carb.

I have an os carb. But it is dodgy. The other one ihave might work. Or you could try my sirio one but these are out of semi working motors so I'd want them back so I can blow up my motors

no worries, ill see what i can find aswell. you dont even need the full carby just the bit the high speed needle screws into. if you look on the engine parts diagram you will see which bit i mean.

One idea. Head out to hobby garage at strathpine. Ask for Rodney and say I sent ya. Probably won't get you anything but he has a couple of boxes of engines and parts. I'm sure you'll find something that'll work there

Adro, this is the shop

Scroll down a bit and it has the high speed needle set. Ill pick that up.

[Adro]

thats the bit. if you just wrap it and post it to me ill fit it and start the runin.

[sk8ermitch]

sure, probz wont be able to get it till Friday arvo.

[Adro]

thats fine, ill stick the ninja carby on it over the weekend and try and get the run in done so when the part turns up it should just be a matter of sticking it and and getting the tune right. if you are lucky i might be able to get it ready for you on sunday if we race.

[sk8ermitch]

thanks heaps. if it isnt ready id rather use the Axial in that case.

i think nthere is something wrong with the clutch on it aswell because it seems to be always engaged but il try and sort it out for you.
