Hi Guys

   Is an adaptor plate needed to mount the 34ICH on the 2Ltr? The reason
I ask is because I have a 34ICH on my 2.25 SII and I remember I tried
the Solex from the 2.25 on my 2.0 and it wouldn't fit, the mounting
holes in the base were too far apart. I know I didn't check the 34ICH
before I mounted it to the 2.25 because it came with the adaptor plate
to rotate the carb on the intake to allow the throttle linkage to attach
to the carb (which I thought was the only reason for the adaptor).

Thanks

Hi Ian,

On mine it's a 34ICH which was supplied as a Weber conversion for a
2.25L
Landrover.   They're fairly readily available from LR aftermarket parts
people in the UK.  It's an easy 'bolt on' fit with just a bit of
tweaking of
the throttle lever needed to get it all correctly lined up with the full
range of movement.  Peter Vollers in Woodstock has recently brought and
fitted one so perhaps he can advise on sourcing the correct one in the
States?

When I brought it I was advised to leave the jetting unchanged and my
experience (and others that I know) is that it seems to suit the 2.0L
very
well as supplied for the 2.25.  The plugs look good and the vehicle
behaves
strongly and smoothly across the rev range with no flat spots etc at
all.
Interestingly I've heard of people fitting them to 2.25's and being very
unhappy with them to the extent of changing back to a Zenith; so perhaps
it
suits the 2.0 better than the engine it's intended for.

Good luck,
Graham W
