KWILB Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Greetings to all. I wish to communicate and seek counsel regarding my findings on carburettor kits for the Weber TLD (M). Several websites list carburettor kits designated as compatible with the XR2i and other Fiesta variants equipped with 1.3 and 1.1 HCS engines. However, upon examining the Haynes handbook, the carburettors appear to exhibit tiny variations. The XR2i version is the TLD, lacking the "M" at the end. The M version appears to be installed longitudinally based on my findings, suggesting that certain variants of the XR2i may have featured it. Additionally, an examination of the specifications in the Haynes manual reveals minor discrepancies in nozzle dimensions and final calibrations. However, it is possible that the carburettors are fundamentally identical and that the same O-rings and gaskets are applicable. Additionally, it is crucial to enquire about the diaphragms; many kits may lack these. Are the sizes identical between the TLD and TLDM models? I sincerely appreciate your support and wish you all well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torque2me Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago The XR2i lacks a carburettor, so no carburettor will be compatible. The XR2i first employed the fuel-injected 1.6 CVH engine until transitioning to the 1.8 Zetec in the early 1990s. I'm pretty sure they were both EFI engines rather than the Bosch K-Jetronic that was used on the 1.6 CVH used for the XR3i up to 89. The 'I' in XR2i denotes injection; might it be that you are confusing the XR2 with the XR2i? The XR2 was equipped with a carburettor on the 1.6 CVH engine.

KWILB Posted 14 hours ago Author Share Posted 14 hours ago Indeed! I mistakenly conflated it with the 1.6 CVH; my apologies for the error. Interestingly, a certain website includes "XR2" in its compatibility list, suggesting the existence of an earlier XR2 Mk2 Fiesta equipped with a carburettor.

KWILB Posted 14 hours ago Author Share Posted 14 hours ago Can someone confirm that this kit is suitable for all versions, from HCS 1.1 to XR2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needsnewtyres2 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago There existed The Mk1 Fiesta XR2 employed a 1.6 variant of the Kent Crossflow engine, while the Mk2 Fiesta XR2 utilised the 1.6 CVH engine. With the introduction of the Mk3 Fiesta, the XR2 was equipped with fuel injection, resulting in the XR2i designation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torque2me Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I believe this is all you require for the Weber TLDM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWILB Posted 14 hours ago Author Share Posted 14 hours ago Thank you. The kit appears to be identical to the one in the link I provided, but it is being sold by a different vendor on eBay. The eBay option is indeed pricier but offers shipping to numerous locations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torque2me Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I hope the reconstruction proceeds successfully. Consistently utilise kits designed expressly for the engine/carburetor combination. The distinctions may be minor, yet they might be substantial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWILB Posted 14 hours ago Author Share Posted 14 hours ago Thank you. It was formerly my mother's vehicle, which I operated during my adolescence; it had familial significance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
