Stromberg 175 CD2 any more info ??

[Moraystag]

gent's I am away abroad at work and am trying to find out the full details of my carbs i.e specific type as I believe there were 5 different combinations of stromberg as the car ran through 8 years of production.


As far as I know the carbs are the original type, does anyone know what other detail I could give appart from what is stamped on the outside (Stromberg 175 CD2)
My car is a 1977 model.

Cheers: Mike

Hi Mike,

Take a look at the very bottom of this Rimmers' page which may help a little: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID005192

Also, I guess you know about the Buckeye site which, although not specifically for Stags, has loads of info: http://www.buckeyetriumphs.org/techn...bsI/CarbsI.htm (this site will give you plenty of hours of interesting reading until you get back home again !)

And finally, you might just get your missus to go and look to see if the little brass tag is still on the carbs - I haven't got a pic I'm afraid - which should give the definitive reference of your set up.

Oh, and finally, finally, there is a Haynes Stromberg carb book (I've got a copy) which tells everything - I'll look out my copy to see if there's anything in there which could help you.

Cheers

Back again ! - I've just checked out the Haynes manual but it's not a lot of help I'm afraid Although it's the 1986 version of the book, the detailed listing of manufacturers seems to stop in 74

The carb listed for then is 175CD-2SEV with carb ref numbers (presumably the number on the brass tag I mentioned) of 3509 for both RH & LH.

Sorry I (or rather, Mr Haynes) can't be of more help.

Cheers Julian the reason is I may be able to get my hands on a complete new set straight out of the original boxes but because I'm away I can't give this chap a difitive answer. There are no brass tags on mine.
The way I see it is that, I was planning on going to go for Alans refurbed, however if I could get an original brand new pair I could take the old ones out and have a play with them for my interest and education. I would imagine brand new originals are like hens teeth as well

I should bl*****g well think so.

You wouldn't like to give me your potential supplier's name and address would you - I reckon I could just get there before you. LOL

Will after I find out if they are the right ones LOL

Dunno about the CD175, but I'm trying to work out what letters the asterisks stand for in a word which starts with 'bl' and ends in 'g' and which is too off limits to spell out!

Hi Mike,

As Julian says, the Haynes book isn't much good for later carbs. However, the Burlen Fuel Systems site lists the types that were fitted to Stgas, but not by Commission Number. This may help:

If they are the 175CD-2 then they are not original to your car as I believe they were only fitted to early cars. Based on my near nasty experience yesterday I would remove them from your car and replace them with a pair of 175 CDSE. See my thread titled "stuttering when running"

Mike,

They all have CD-2 cast into the valve covers. The earliest Stags had CD-2S carbs, then they went to CD-2SE. These are the 'Emission' carbs with the Temperature Compensator on the side. The different carb reference numbers, as listed on the Burlen site linked above, refer to various changes to the idle screws, tamper-proof adjustments, etc. These numbers were originally stamped on a small brass tag attached to one of the cover screws - as shown in the attached picture. Sadly many of these will have been lost over the years, so identifying which carb you have isn't easy but it should be 3833L and 3833R.

Now you have got me worried. I have a 1977 MOD the brass tag says they are 637 3890L
Engine number LF044808HE.

i think i will input on this
before panic sets in

firstly
most if not all the strombergs have 175 cd 2 cast into the covers
,besides this part is interchangable and may not be original to the car anyway,so identify by this method is useless
second

only very early cars without temp compensators,,may not have had the float chamber vent overflow outlet tubes to front of engine
third
all mk 2 cars wee fitted with temp compensators and float chamber vent system,they only changed in some modifications in design and tamperproof
idle screws

check my picture .if you have the parts arrowedPICT0003.jpg then you are fine
