Tinley Tech (google it) is a good place to start; they do sell kits for self installation. However, if you do self install, you are almost certain to find that your insurance company will want it to be checked by a competent LPG technician (no definition of this !) and may very likely also want it c...

Aldon Amethyst Mappable Ignition
Does anybody know anything about the Aldon Amethyst mappable ignition ? Website here: http://www.aldonamethyst.co.uk/ I ask because: - I'm happy with carbs on my Land Rover 110 3.5 V8 (have just replaced k******ed Strombergs with brand new SU HIF44s) - I've been considering going the MJ route to get...

Any possibility you've fitted the spindle wrongly when changing the butterfly? Or the lever? I don't think so. These were brand new, unused (albeit old stock) carbs. All I did was swop out the butterflies fitted (which had poppet valves) for plain ones from Burlen. I've got the offending idle screw...

I'm not clear what the problem is. The idle adjustment screw is in the carb body and pushes a lever which is keyed onto the spindle.? Is the butterfly not closing enough - or not opening enough at idle? Is the screw in a very different height from the other carb? The problem is that the idle screw ...

My suggestion would be to loosen/centralise the plain replacement butterfly and hopefully this will allow the shaft to rotate further towards the closed position and as a consequence this will allow the idle screw to actually touch the throttle stop lever. Just a thought. Regards Denis Good idea, I...

The carbs are unused new old stock. They came with poppet valves on the butterflies, but I replaced them with new plain butterflies from Burlen (and, yes, they were put in the right way around !). A colleague who has worked on Rover V8s professionally in the past suggested: - removing the offending ...

New SU HIF44s Fitted - A couple of Issues
Well, I've finally got around to it and replaced the knackered 30 year old Strombergs on my Landrover 110 with a pair of new old stock HIF 44s. I've got them up and running with the engine at the correct idle speed and have (roughly) set the mixtures so that the engine runs OK-ish. However: - I cann...

Rover V8 Distributor Vacuum Advance Connections
I'm about to replace the knackered Stromberg carbs on my 110 V8 with a new pair of SU HIF44s (acquired on ebay for considerably less than Burlen sell them for). A couple of questions: - There are currently 2 vacuum pipes running from the distributor vacuum advance unit to the near side Stromberg: ht...

I also think the Burlen Fuel Systems website has the same info. Chris. Burlen is the same company as the SU Co - sadly they don't match Land Rover part numbers with their own. However ..... Answer: L/R part no: ETC7123 = SU part no: FZX 2005R for SU HIF44 right hand carb of the pair on a Land Rover...

Rover V8 - SU Carbs Part Numbers
I am planning to convert from Strombergs to SU HIF 44s on the V8 in my 1983 110 Land Rover. I was planning to refurbish a good used pair (with linkages) that I have, but I have recently managed to get hold of a brand new left hand carb. Its SU part number is FZX 2005L, which the SU Company website s...
