Manylandrovers Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi, I’m after a B80 carb. How does one distinguish between them and a B60 carb? regards Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Both the B60 and B80 used the Solex 40NNIP carb, but they would be set up / jetted differently. There should be a Rolls Royce number stamped on them and you need to know the specific number for the engine/vehicle application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manylandrovers Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thanks. I have two identical looking carbs one of them came off my B80 (Saracen engine I believe) but don’t know which one...one has v clear numbers - haven’t checked the other one yet..

Manylandrovers Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Can anyone verify what the carb number RE 14549 might have been used for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 RE 14549 is a RR part no. but is it not for a float? Cross checking throws up: 16K 18235 (RAF) 10710--1642 (Marcus Engineering who took over RR service parts. I suspect 10710 is the Solex no. & relates to 40NNIP1642) I have the RAF ISPL for B60 Mk 5G & no mention of RE 14549 or 16K 18235 although are are some quite similar numbers. NSN 2910-99-401-1670 might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manylandrovers Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 It’s number stamped on the carb body. The number below it is 3879 (serial number?). the other carb I have is RE 16434, serial number 9505. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nearest I can find is RE16472 which was a 40NNIP fitted to early B81 engines I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
