Psi wagon, did you just have to cut and pull the guards or did you need to modify the wheel tubs to make the 8s fit?

Re: WTB: F8B carby

Thanks mate I've ordered a rebuild kit and will see how that goes. Sounds like I will need a specific auto one if the kit doesnt fix it.

Re: f8b carby issues.

Awesome, I was worried about the venturi because it looks like it's snapped on down the hole. I'll order a rebuilt kit and give her a birthday. Ah ok, I'll have to have a think about how to wire in a relay for one. Also I have pulled my water pump off to replace it and I think I have taken the timin...

I started my f8b for the first time in 13 years, found the primary throat in the carby continued to drop fuel in after it was switched off and also the secondary jet thing rattles around and comes out really easy. 14263699901821998902827.jpg Is it slightly worn or is it rooted? Will the carby need m...

And what modifications were need to fit them if any. I have read through the fitting larger wheels thread but I want to see what they all actually l...
