Hi all

I need a HS2 Su carb or a cheap service kit for the same for a reliant engine, I may have a 750 engine in the trike but can't be sure.

Any help or even the bits would be most welcome.

I can pay for the bits or swap some of the stuff I have lying about the place. I have most of an engine here and a spare gearbox.

Cheers

Gary

Hiya, we've got various bits & pieces of carb knocking about, but not sure if we've got a spare complete one. Is there a particular bit you need? If it's a 750 it would've originally run on the earlier Zenith down draught carb.

Hiya,

Yeah we ditched the Zenith as it was really knackered. it also got in the way of the tank.

We have a HS2 on the engine now and even though there are no gaskets on the inlet manifolds as yet it runs quiet happily ::) ::). We decided not to fit the new gaskets until the final assembly.

Cheers

Gary

Don't bother using gaskets between the carb' and inlet manifold and the carb' - air filter, use the blue or red gasket sealer in a tube. Can't remember what its called, begins with a H. Seals better than paper ones. I have several bits of carb' in me garage. What do you need ?

I could use a needle and main to suit a reliant engine, the su I have is an old one and the needle is worn.
I must say I'm surprised the engine ran at all considering it has no gaskets of any description in the inlet tract at all at the moment.
I recon it should run well once it isn't sucking any extra air in.
I also need to sort a pancacke type airfilter and element out but looking on ebay and other sites have been totally gobsmacked at the money people want. I'm no miser you understand but some of the prices I have been quoted...I'd want a new carb for.

I have been quoted nearly 70 squids for a service kit for my hs2 and the bloke wanted me to tell him what needle I needed.
At that price I thought he should know. He purports after all to be the expert.

I could use any HS2 bits at all to be honest, I can use the good bits to sort a decent carb out of the bits I have.
Cheers for asking.

Gary

the blue or red gasket sealer of which you speak is called hermetite not sure of spelling though.

Try Burlens for carb spares.

They're in the Links for Commercial Purposes bit of the forum.
The standard HS2 needle's an AAT. We've got AAUs in our trikes, which run much smoother with shorter exhaust systems & more open filters. Start off with the needle seating screw, (the big one in the bottom of the carb), wound out 2 full turns, then adjust as necessary from there.
Ska Man runs a simple pancake filter on his blue Reliant, (I'm still waiting for a write up to go with the piccies of it by the way Nige!), with no problems. Always loads at autojumbles. There's another one at Kempton racecourse before Christmas if you're nearby.

Got my filter at Beaulieu autojumble. Cost about 15 quid but it is nice and shiny  ;D

And it's a genuine SU one.
The blue sealant used on Flap's trike was Hylomar -my Hylomar. Now I haven't got any.

Its red Hylomar on my trike  :P there wasn't enough blue in the tube so I had to buy some  :(

i have a complete carb surplus to needs! if ya dont wanna rebuild yours! dont want anything for it! was just about to chuck it in the skip! bloody hate the hs su! the hif versions alot better but you,ve gotta make a new branch pipe to fit your manifold!!!

Ska Man runs a simple pancake filter on his blue Reliant,

I use a K&N filter.

Yup, a K & N filter element over a pancake filter.
Ska Man & I are off to "The Motorists Discount Centre" in Newbury on Monday to shop for Cherry Bomb exhausts. Want me to pick up a filter if they've got any?

Not as yet mate, I have a few bits I need to pay for this month. Our local factor lets me have bits on tick now and then and I need to pay him before I spend any more.

I also need to send toad some beer money and postage if the carb he has will suit.

I'll post some piccys of my carb set up in the morning so you can all see what I'm up to.

Cheers everyone for your help so far.

Regards
Gary

A couple of piccys of the carb. It faces the front of the trike.

Same direction mine will face.

where are you in the country mate probably got su filter gaskets etc

Hi,
I live in the Manchester area. Place called Ashton-under-Lyne.
It's the very wet bit just outside Manchester.
Cheers
Gary

i live near burnley mate will have a rummage

hi Toad, did you get my email ?

Cheers

Gary

yes mate! its the same carb send me your addy and i,ll bung it in the post, ;)

Thanks a lot Toad, you have email.
It's bits of help like this that restore a blokes faith in the idea that bikers/trikers are a brotherhood( sisterhood in case Bobbi sees this)who will help people out without asking the earth in return.

Nice one Toad, and all the rest of you that offer advice and encouragement.

cheers

Gary

 :) Advice & info cost nothing. Can't see the point of keeping it to yourself if it'll benefit someone else & help them get on the road. Same goes for unwanted parts. Better to be used by someone than sat on a shelf gathering dust.

I'll be posting a list for the bits I have about the place. Anyone needs anything they can have them for the cost of the postage.

Cheers

Gary

That's a good idea -a communal spares bin! I'll have a rummage next time I'm in my lock-up & see what I've got going spare.

yep thays a damn good idea! shall we start a thread on who,s got what???

O.K, but no accepting bits then flogging 'em on Ebay!

I have a spare gearbox,
Do we start a new thread or are you going to put a parts bit on?
Cheers
Gary

Ignore me ,I just found the other thread.
Cheers

Hiya,

I'm still after a HS2 SU for my little toy. I'm not over endowed with the folding stuff at the moment but can come up with a bit of dosh for the right piece of kit.

I did have a reliant box and engine to swap but I think spanners may want them.

Cheers

Gary

We've got various parts floating about but not sure if there's a whole one. I'll have a check.

Think I might have one, will have a look.

Not my one is it?!

No its mine.

It belongs to me.

It's mine  :P

now now children play nicely  ;D

Mine mine mine mine mine.

When you gentlemen have decided on the provenance of the aforementioned goods would the rightful owner please let me know if it's available? ;D

Thanks awfully. ;)

Pip pip ::)

Gary

I should be able to get away with useing the one on the reliant I just bought. I'd still need one if its a downdraught carb in the car tho cos it wont fit.


Let me know if one of you has one going spare please.

Cheers

Gary

i might have one mate

Hi

If you do have one spare could you please let me know how much etc?
Thanks

Gary

got loads of bits mate but  not a whole one so far
any good to you
minisport is only 20 mins away from me in padiham

Im stripping the one I have in the next few days, I'll let you know what bits are u/s . then if you have the bits we can sort something out.
Cheers for taking the time and trouble.

Take it easy.

Gary

I could still do with one of these if antone has one going cheap.
I need a jet and needle for a reliant mill as the one on the trike was off a mini.
No idea if they use the same stuff ???

Cheers

Gary
