How to identify your carburretor?

Is there any particular way of knowing exactly what carburettor you have in your Land Rover? Any identifying marks or numbers? Mine is a Weber but I want to buy an overhaul kit for it but don't know what type of Weber it is? Having just discovered my Land Rover I bought 12 monthes ago had a Massey Ferguson Tractor fuel pump on it,I want to make sure what I have before buying the kit. Any advice very welcome of what to look for please?

Most likely to be a weber 34ich carb

Look up Weber 35Ich on google and see if it's what you've got. Or it could be anything. Is there a metal tab with some numbers on it? Post a piccie if you've got one.

Just took a look, nice to see it is printed on the side of the casting as a Weber Tipo 34ICH. Any special relevance to the "Tipo" bit?

Tipo is italian for model which is just a regular 34ich weber (made in italy!). Good carb but gums up easy make sure you use an inline filter and a clean fuel pump gauze helps.

There's plenty of info about Weber Carbs on the net i.e. View topic: Weber 34ICH tech sheet – The Mk1 Golf Owners Club

It's worth getting the full rebuild kit rather than just a gasket as the accelerator pump diaphragm and other such bits will probably be ready to be replaced.

That's another job done. I bought the whole service kit plus gave it a good clean down. Have ordered a new fuel line from pump to carb to complete the job. I have never had an In line filter? Is it necessary and if so any recommendations? The pump has a filter gauze and the carb has a filter so do I need another one??????

Yup. I have a pic somewhere of a weber that didnt have an inline filter on it. Gummed to hell it was. They cost pence from a motor factor so its a no brainer to my mind.
