LJ 80 Carb

Post by Tonypp » Sun Oct 18, 2015 5:50 pm

It does not seem to make a blind bit of difference when I try to adjust the mixture screw/ air screw. Doesn't rev, doesn't stall but runs rich. The Carb has had a long life but I would like to keep the LJ looking as near original as possible so want to stick to a LJ Carb. Any clues ( I have cleaned it out several times) Or does anybody have a spare LJ 80 carb that they will part with ?

If you are after a rebuild kit I might be able to find one here.... is the LJ carb the same as a 410 carb?
Scottie?

If I remember correctly the SJ is not a straight swap. I seem to remember that when I fitted one I had to use the SJ manifold, but it may have been that it was already on the block and I couldn't be bothered to swap it over.
The SJ also has a cut off solenoid as well that will need to be wired in.
You'll also need to modify the air filter (I think!!!)
Sorry to be vague its a long time since I did it.
I really must cut back on the fishing and lambrettas and get my LJs sorted!!!!
