So... I have been having a tidy up and came across a set of these from my old 205 XS (XY8 engine) - I sold that car in 2001 lol I was sure they went to the tip years ago, have a feeling one of the butterfly's is missing & will need a rebuild. Any idea what they might be worth? Will try and grab a pic on Monday. *google pic of a clean pair lol  |

They would go pretty good on Skoda Estelle.
40's usually dramatically overfuel.
36's are about optimum size.
I'm guessing XS was modified with these.
I can't find anything on tinternet about them on 205 XS!
As to value can't help sorry!

"To Big block or not to Big block?" Thats the question!

Also first generation 205 Lacoste - fitted with the 1360 cc engine and 35 IBSH carbs They always need modifying with rubber tipped float needles as the brass ones wear quickly and then let fuel by causing poor consumption and performance Bit of a faff to balance up if they've been split but once balanced with a drop of paint on the screw threads they don't go out of tune. |
