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?

Should have a Su carby don't know what size but

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.

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.

One little old lady owner? Was her name Christine Gibson by any chance?

Not to sure who it was bought off as it was like 10 years ago. But was purchased in the Camden area

Nope it was bought from berry or nowra I have been updated and was told that name sounds familiar but can't be certain

Sorry... was just having a bit of a joke re: a little old lady owner but being fitted with a 45DCOE Weber
