Hi Niall,
Off subject, but where in the country are you? There might be a club member
near you.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Problem with shiny new carb (possible cause; idiot
trying to fit it)
Hello there - we've probably established by now that I'm an idiot with no
mechanical experience....
Anyway, managed to rewire my dash and get the clock going today (thanks
Jim!) also discovered the last guy never wired up the dash backlights which
may explain why it was really really dim at night...
Anyway, I was on a roll, so decided to fit my new carb - a 32/34 Dmtr from
webcon. But I have a problem - knowing next to nothing about cars (and not
having an installation guide as promised (thanks webcon), my assumption that
the new carb would have the same fittings as the old was naive /misguided.
My old dft has a fuel pipe that goes into a metallic filter or something and
that screwed into the carb body. Next to that there's another pipe with a
brass fitting. I assumed that was some sort of float overflow or similar
because it seems to come from the petrol tank too.
But the new carb doesn't have any way (that I can see) of plugging both
these pipes in. There's no thread at all for adding the fuel pipe filter
attachment (well there is but its blanked off) but there is the brass tube
thing that the overflow was on before. If I plug the fuel line into this one
(I honestly can't see where else it would go) then I've got no overflow (or
whatever it is) pipe anymore? I did try it this was but the quantum was
having none of it - it almost caught but then just filled the carb with
petrol.... Yippee.
Anyway, as ever, HELP!!!!
Photo here kind of explains what I mean I hope!
