I remember those SK carbs were sold for a while in the early to mid 90s. Supposed to be pretty good, I'm told. Much of them is interchangeable with Webers, I think. Japanese? /// or try http://www.t

the ingenious Webers can be very nice, depending on what you want. ZS, however, was a terrible carb, and on the B, it was used terribly... and if you want a horror story, check out MG recalls in the

I managed, through a mixture of pig-eyed perserverance, monkey-fisted manhandling and pure dumb luck, to loosen the heater flap cable enough so that I was able to yank the unit up about 2 inches and

Yup, Bs were made to be driven, and in my experience they run better when they're run frequently. At one point, my whole family got by on two Bs. I currently would drive my GT exclusively except it n

The B-series engine was used in everything, including a diesel version fitted to trucks. Now most gas-diesel conversions aren't very good, and I have no idea if this one is, but it's the same old b-s
