Nova 1.0 to 1.2 carb conversion

What will I need engine and ancillaries and do I need to change gearbox? Thanks

you need to fit the gearbox for a 1.2, the gbox mount brackets are the same, but you'll need the 1.2 front engine mount.
the electrics fit ok, but you need the 1.2 coil, and the 1.2 has 2 fuel lines, feed & return, so the tank needs swapping, unless you can rig up a return..

Mowgli, what are the disadvantages of blocking off the return pipe?

Joe:thumb: too much fuel in the carb bowl, causing too much fuel to enter the engine??
