Perry carbs.

Perry carbs were always a bit sensitive to alterations on the "wheel" but gave good service when set properly. 

 

Their main downfall was if (when) people used fuel with any percentage of castor oil.  The extremely tiny slit in the spray bar would then get clogged up with congealed oil, and then it had to be stripped and cleaned and the whole setting up process started again. . . sigh. 

 

They worked better with  fuel with fully synthetic oil.

I gave up on Perry carbs years (decades?) ago! I don't dispute that they can give good results for a while, but in my experience, they are far too finickity. The plastic deteriorates, the O-rings deteriorate, they clog far too easily, the list goes on and on! I replaced mine with Kavan carbs (all metal), which while also fiddly to set up, are at least consistent once set.

 

Kavan carbs can still be found, though I suspect they are (sadly) no longer manufactured. Irvine carbs are also excellent if you can find one to fit, though again, long out of production.

Brian,

They don't appear on their website and there's no search function. Do you have the link?

Just Google " Weston UK" or give them a ring on 01795 522020 or 01795 521030.

The link for the ED carb is     Weston.co.uk/Ed-Carbs-/
