Although it is a Ford carb, on what is essentially an Anglia/Cortina block. It is not the same carb as the car. It has a much different acceleration characteristic.
It is also a downdraught carb, I think the car versions were side draught. (A BSS fail)

At the risk of making a really stupid comment, and I admit I am not well up on inboard petrol engines but. Ultimatly its a Ford carb off a car engine. Have you tried a good motor factors to see if you can get a replacement carb?
As soon as you mention marine (or motorsport) the price normally doubles even if its the same part.
Just a thought

Aparently there is a company in Portsmouth that reconditins carbs. I will ask the mate who was considering sending his Ford/Watermoco carb there due to it not running at low revs. The need to send his away ended when I opened it up and blew through the ports & jets with a decent amount of compressed air. Runs a treat now! |

Try Sheriden Marine. AKA - The Freeman Specialists.
That sounds like a Ford carb, they are Watermotor specialists.... as fitted to millions of Freeman cruisers.
