Need help identifying this Carb

Gypsy-Boy · 4th June 2009, 12:06

Hey guys
These are pics of the carb on my 413W.
I know it is not the original as there is an adapter plate between the carb and intake.
I was told that this is a Contessa carb.
Please help me identify it.

Please post the photographs with the air cleaner removed. It seems to be a double barrel mikuni or webber.

Hi Adheesh
More pics - without the air filter

I jumped into the thread reading that you needed help in identifying a CRAB.

But then realized my mistake.
And they (CRABS) do qualify as 4x4 equipped things that can actually even move sideways, right!!

Sorry, but cannot help you with the CARB.

SirAlec - I had gone thru this site earlier when I was trying to id the carb, with no success.
If it helps - It does have an electronic choke.

Certainly not a Solex. Maybe a Weber....

its a hitachi carb which was used on the earlier contessa pre 94/93 models it help the engine make 88 bhp (1.8 Isuzu engine )

its also know as window wala carb in mechanic language and finding spares for it is not easy
my contessa has the same carb

And later on they changed that to Esteem's carb to get better fuel efficiency.

Rudra - Thanks
Manikjeet - Thanks

Now gotta figure out how to get spares for it.
Or alternatively swap it for an esteem carb.

Any help for either would be appreciated

You'll find it at Shivajinagar gujri. Let me also check out with my previous mechanic if he has any.

It is indeed a Hitachi. The HM Contessa as well as the earlier 118NE s also came with a double barrel Hitachi.I suppose the throttle body must be the same. An Indian company named Pacco makes parts as well as whole replicas of these carburetors. Check this link out for more information carburettor, carburetor, tps, throttle position sensor, throttle body, fuel rail manifold, fuel pumps, crankshaft, Yamaha, suzuki, kawasaki, honda carburettor
