Champ carb in a Dingo


Muddywheels

Recommended Posts

Hi- anyone any information on fitting a Champ carb (Solex 40 WNHEO) in a Dingo? Thought I'd solved my previous starting problems, but.....

I know Dingo carbs were sometimes fitted in a Champ, so it would seem to make sense that the reverse is also possible- just wondered if there were any fixing/ linkage differences.

thanks.

Have you read the previous post of Dingo rough running carb problems and the differences of a Champ carb

Thanks- yes, saw that. Been through most of the options, but the only one I haven't tried is swopping over for a known good carb. Can't find a spare Dingo one, but I could buy a Champ one. Just wanted some info first if possible, before I buy one .

There are 2 types for the Dingo :

 

- early type SOLEX 40 ZNHPO (Mk1 + Mk2 Dingo)

- later type SOLEX WNHPO (Mk3 Dingo)

 

There is a "ZNHPO" type for sale at eBay :

Good luck!

This carb is one of a pair for the Daimler Armoured Car, not a Dingo. If I recall, jetting is different.

The long and the short of the carb element of the Dingo thread is that the Dingo and Champ carbs have parts that are interchangeable but you cannot just fit a Champ carb. You could build one out of the two but then you don't know whether one of the unchanged parts was/is the problem.

Thanks everyone for the input on this- very helpful as always. Have gone with a replacement ZNHPO; I can substitute the jets with the ones on my current carb if necessary-these are fine and clean as a whistle. Should at least be able to narrow down the options now.
