Carby CC

Funny thing is the CB and CA lancers also came out with an EFI engine lol, I have no idea why they went to a carby setup in the CC
Other models such as civics also came in a carby around the same era, so maybe they were the "in thing" around that time for base model cars
Pretty sure charades, swifts and maybe pulsars came in a carby model

Hi
Nothing wrong with carbs but yeah would prob cost about 1K less than an injector setup, shame really I do like the simplicity or carby's but the ever tightening emission standards killed them of for good me thinks
anyway thought Id post my introduction to lancers and hope it may help
Just brought a carby cc lancer for the missus to run to and from work....Just spent the weekend working on the little thing and sorting out why it ran really rich...after finding out the gegory's manual is useless (yet again) managed to find some info on the Asian VV carb translated from Russian (not very well btw)
a lot of ppl seem to blame the auto choke but of the 3 I have here (thank you U-pull it) they all worked within manufacturer's specs when tested, though they were all gummed up with old fuel varnish....a bit of carb cleaner fixed that.I think the biggest issue with these carbs is the float flooding and or leaks due to wear on the butterfly spindle. Of the 3 carbs I checked at u-pull it all had the tell tail marks of old fuel around the spindle shaft fortunately the one on our lancer was clean as.I found conflicting info on the float height so went with the fuel miser rebuilt kits instructions, also I noticed there is 2 different float bowl gaskets in the kit no idea if that has any effect on fuel metering but I went with the full cover one as it was the same as the orig...the mixture adjustment screw on our crab was screwed almost all the way in (not sure if this is fuel or air metering type) on the 3 carbs I checked at u-pull it they were all about 3 1/4 turns out from full in so thats were I set it on mine no idea if thats even remotely correct...after a good soaking in carb clear for the bulk of the carby reassembly it now runs sweet as idles with out hunting pulls much better and doesn't paint any car behind me in black soot ....if this hadn't worked then plan B was this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271110826424 ... 1423.l2649

The carby GL is why I got the GLXi, plus all the other extras it was well worth the extra cost some 20 year ago.
From memory the exchange rate with Japan went through the roof, thus 'cheap' cars started loosing EFI and rear disc brakes.
I'd suggest you might be better off cutting your losses and getting something newer, love my CC but some days I wish I had a newer Lancer to play with.
