Thanks everyone I think this information has confirmed its most likely a Zenith copy.
The next step now would be to fit a Weber?

I think a Weber will be ordered shortly. Any where you recommend getting a kit from? Once fitted I can then get someone to tune it and check the timing.

Will this be suitable? Craddocks don't put much information on the pages.

I can't recommend anywhere as I just kept an eye out on Ebay, once again keep an eye out for fakes.
I don't remember it needing any setting up. If I remember correctly I might of faffed around with the linkages, on the Land Rover not the carb, and away it went.

I would be looking fir one which comes as a kit in a Webber box, from a Webber dealer if possible, rather than a Britpart part number.

I think this blooks like the right kit, I'll have to check with them it's genuine Weber and not a copy.

Best of if you go and introduce yourself and then start a thread of your own in a relevant place, otherwise it will get lost in here and no one will see it
Good luck.

I've found trying to replace the dangerous aged 6.50 x 16 Firestones a challenge.
As the landy will be used mainly on the road I was thinking about a modern tubless radial tyre. Would a 5.5 x16 steel wheel from Paddocks and a 205/80/16 A/T be a suitable replacement? I don't want to alter gearing or turning circle.

Hi JIMBOB LR
Do you find parts easy to find in Kenya? I saw lots of people using the 85w90 supposedly easier to get off the shelf.

Viscosity close enough but rumour has it that should use GL4 rather than GL5 as it can affect the bronze bits over time
Nop! It's pretty much 'import' what you need. We have a cool system which is fast and affordable. Those who consolidate items into a container rather than 'container specific' get away with murder! I air freight or sea freight. Bulky items by sea as it's cheaper per kg. It works out well for me because I buy what I need and get cracking! No BS!! No import customs BS either. Just pay per kg and be done with it
....Kenya is madness at it's best! I always try my best to keep to standards and requirements. Maintenance is key no matter what you drive. It will be good this time. No leaks from the transfer case or main box.
