  View original topic: Need a new carb. What am I getting?

It's in my 72 Baja, and I believe the engine to be a 1600 from a bus.

Carb: W222051,
Engine Number: H5214382 (if someone could help pinpoint exactly what this engine is would be killer!)

I have looked for any information on this carb and found nothing as far as rebuilding and don't really want to given its condition.

So, being that it is a replacement Webber I believe, what German carb would be good to replace it?

Suggestion:

Go here and send this guy a PM and see what he has that will work for you.

Even though he is a Texan, he is an OK guy. :P

I second that (not holding him being a Texan against him) LOL.. But seriously, I have 2 carbs from Keith and a ton of other people on here do. I have yet to hear any complaints. Grabbing any of the new "generic" carbs is a real gamble. Quality can be iffy and they are not set up for your specific combination.... Good Luck
