does this type of carburettor need all pipes wires etc to start as there is a lot of pipes on top of the engine conected to no thing ?

If you look at a sticky thread above this one you will see "workshop manuals" , from there you can download a manual for the carb.

  Good luck

Nice one Gary.
Yes the guides and manuals out there should give the pipe and wire connections.
Also if you master the art of uploading pics you can show us what\'s there and what\'s not there.
The 13B with a Nikki should be same pipes and connections as our 12A engines. Anyone  any experience of this??
I can see the jetting being a bit out for the bigger capacity but it should be possible to start and run if the right connections are linked up?

Got car running today loads of small things to bypass and solve  she runs but like a bag of bottles I\'m not sure about the distributor cap leads on what goes were can\'t see any thing in manual also the carburettor   leaking all over the place that\'s not a problem going to get down draft weber tomorrow and that will put that to bed have a problem with fuel tank as the fuel pump was not working so we retro fitted red top fuel pump in the engine bay but could get no fuel to flow through pipe is there some sort of device that is stuffed in the tank like a valve  if i can get this sorted next will be the wiring  cheers gary

There is a fuel fitter which could be blocked, it is located on the underside of the car infront of the fuel tank.

   Good luck

FOR THE 12A Engine, and I guess 13B will be same:
Distributor Cap is marked:
\'T\' goes to Trailing Coil, which is the one nearest  to the front of the car.
\'L\' goes to Leading Coil, which is the one nearest to the passenger compartment of the car.
Rotors are \'1\' and \'2\', \'1\' being the front one \'2\' being the back one (like a piston engine\'s cylinders).
Trailing Plugs are the top ones, Leading plugs at the bottom.
So leads go
.......\'T\' and \'L\' to the coils,
.......\'T1\' and \'T2\' to the top plugs, Rotors 1 and 2 respectively,
...... \'L1\' and \'L2\' to the bottom plugs, Rotors 1 and 2 respectively.
Mustn\'t get \'em mixed up, ever.

Just in case anyone was in any doubt whether I had a sig or not:Giggle

Forgot to commend you on how good Gus looked the other day too.:Thumbsup!

[David Nock (RIP)]

You did thanks Captain.....you were obviously distracted planning your massive supernova.

I checked all positive comments carefully and blackmarked anyone whose praise was absent......no not really.
