That Weber is way to big for a standard 998 Clubby.
It would have had a 1 1/2" SU with a big round plastic airbox like this one.

just wondering wat the stock carburetor is on a 76 leyland clubman s. This mini has only had 1 single owner who was an old lady so I don't think she did any mods on it. But the carby on it is a weber 45dcoe13. Is that normal? |

Please don't tease the state of the engine it's been in a field for the last 6 years and I'm about to rebuild it. Here's a pic of it. |

If the person before me put a 45dcoe on it do u think they would have done other mods. |

See if you can take off the airfilter and with a mirror look down one of the throats. There will be a small raised number on the outer edge of the venturi halfway down the carby. A 1275 usually runs a 34-36mm choke. A 998 would be a lot smaller - like 28 or 30. These smaller venturis work better in a 40DCOE not a 45. |

Sorry... was just having a bit of a joke re: a little old lady owner but being fitted with a 45DCOE Weber  Christine Gibson, Fred Gibsons wife, has long been regarded as Australias most successful female race driver. http://www.gibsonmotorsport.com.au/about-us/ https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=christine%20gibson%20racing She did actually race a Mini in the 1968 Hardie-Ferodo 500. Finished 41st. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Hardie-Ferodo_500 |
