Please help to identify carburettor conversion
Hello,
A friend of mine has a '87 240 with a 230 engine. According to VIN it was originally a fuel injected car that was converted to carburettor at some point. The carburettor has started acting up and now needs to be either overhauled or replaced with the same or a compatible. The problem is me/her/or her village mechanic in Slovenia can't figure out what carb it is. I wonder if anyone can help us to identify the make/model of the carburettor? Or possibly recommend a good carburettor shop in the UK? I've attached three photos. Thank you and Best Regards Mika |

Whatever it is, it's a twin-choke device, so almost certainly not even an original fitment on a Volvo 240.
There's a tag visible on the underside of the carb that might give some details, and some identifying numbers cast/stamped into the body. It might be worth running them against Google to see if that shows up anything. If the owner wants a carburettor then either a Pierburg 175CDSU or a proper Stromberg 175CD is a far better solution, and it is possible to get the appropriate needle/jet combination and information on how to set the device up from the forum's more knowledgeable members.

To fit a single-choke carburettor would need the approriate manifold. The Cisak and its associated collection of coloured pipes and accessories was always giving trouble, and I replaced it with its manifold with a Stromberg from a B21A, and a finer jet needle. It ran well for some years. There's a very old thread here somewhere. Last edited by Clifford Pope; Dec 29th, 2019 at 16:53. |

Thank you for all relies!
I have followed the lead about Solex-Cisak and google search came up with this http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts...c-z11/1025952/ To my untrained eyes at least the top and the bottom seem to match what is already in the car, hopefully the rest matches two. I suspect at this stage it might be easier to get a service kit for this model and replace the jets http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts...4-z11/1066765/ Regarding the symptoms: I only know that the car started playing up a drive on a dusty track, got progressively worse and could no longer maintain idle. Ignition is apparently OK. And since using choke didn't help it is probably not an air leak. Thanks once again! |

I have a Cisak on my '87 240 and had to make one out of two a couple of years ago - my fault was leaky gaskets. However, before you spend big money on yours, check to be sure all those small pipes and hoses are connected. I had one come off a tee-piece once and it ran like a pig until I refitted it.
