Austin from Durham - Metro Manifold

[listerjp2]

Hi Austin - I am in the throws of fitting the manifold and HIF 6 carb. I have tried without success to find a drawing of how the manifold is plumbed in and what out/inlet pipes I should be using for the carb. Can you help with some pictures and explanations pleeeease. Many Thanks Adrian

Hi Adrian.
There is details in the Marina Haynes manual under supplement page 199.
The pipe that comes up at a angle on the left side near the top cover is the crankcase fume conection. On the same side a tube above the adjusting screw is for the fuel inlet. The little tube under the carb is for the ignition vacuum connection. The outlet in the middle of the carb next to the fuel inlet is for float chamber vent as is the tube above this just below the dashpot fixing face.

Hope this helps.

Hi Adrian,
Sorry for the delay in replying but I have been up in Scotland and have just read your post.
I tried the telephone number you posted but got a recorded message that the number was not recognized.
The message Bob Jackson posted describes the layout well.
I have some photo's but need to reduce the size in order to attach them.
Is the phone number correct?
My number if you want to call is 0191 3710473.

Regards Austin

Austin thanks for this. A couple of questions, 1)First picture the pipe going to the right, where does it go. 2)what type of bhp do you get from this set up? Again Many thanks - Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Picture to follow to ID pipes and connections.
Not sure about bhp. This setup replaced a very troublesome 1.8 installation and runs really well.
The exhaust is a temporary installation which I made up myself with the help of a welder who was doing an installation for me at work.
