  2. Tr250 zenith stromberg 175 cd-2

    in TR5/250 Forum

    Hi Guy,

     

    Assuming you have an original spec engine, note that the proper spark plugs are different than those used in P.I. engines: they're hotter.

     

    The correct NGK plug is BP6ES. Champion's current model isn't known to me; it used to be N12Y.

     

    Running a P.I. suited plug will foul them in a TR250 engine.

     

    Temperature compensators should be closed when cold, and the throttle bypass valves can be easily checked for leaks.

     

    Not much else to these, but the Bentley Bible devotes some ink to them pp.221-233.

     

    Cheers,

    Tom

    Hi Guy,

     

    Original TR250 carburetors are not adjustable per se; you could increase richness by raising the float levels or by stretching the springs but that's about it. Consequently they won't serve with different cams having longer duration.

     

    What they do well is keep the mixture right on a correct original engine, allowing them to pile on miles and miles. In the day, 100K miles was something to crow about and TR250s often went well beyond that before needing engine overhauls ( as did plenty of Federal TR6s - 250K or more ).

     

    All the emissions Strombergs were set up for their respective engines and would work perfectly when new. Later ones were adjustable via raising or lowering the needles. Due to the fixed taper of those needles the tuneability is limited, so some have fitted S.U. carbs or different needles to the Strombergs.

     

    Cheers,

    Tom

     

    Thanks Tom

     

    Very interesting, I plan to check if they are over rich with a colourtune and go from there, awaiting new choke cable and a couple of vacuum pipe fittings.

    Then will see.

    Hope you and yours are well.

    Cheers

    Hi Kevart

     

    Here you go; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-VECTRA-C-REAR-SEAT-DRINK-CUP-HOLDER-24452595-24452596-24452597-/122042476820?hash=item1c6a4c6914:g:1i0AAOSwygJXg4aT

     

    It fits underneath the glovebox bolted to a homemade bracket. Great fit for all cans, bottles & coffee.

     

    Had mine for at least four years great addition for long journeys.

    Hi All,

     

    I need some advice, this 250 is fitted with zenith stromberg 175 cd-2

     

    The choke cable departed from the dash, yet the car still starts from cold with out issue, so will need new cable and adjustment.

     

    My main query is how is the fuel leaned out or adjusted.. I have read about an Allen key type too that you insert into the top.

    Yet I can feel a slotted screw on the underside of the carb, isn't that the adjustment .?

     

    What's the difference between a cd-2 and cd-2s

     

    Thanks

    Guy

  10. Power Feed Query

    in General TR Technical

    Posted

    Hi Roger, its a revington rtr8270k, which is described as providing 4 fuses ignition side and 4 non.

    However, with the ign on and my block voltmeter probe on the battery, if i touch the battery +ve i get 12-13v, but none of the fuse box spades generate any reading ?

    So i guess it was just wired in as a fuse box?

     

     

    I have the Revington auxiliary loom rtr8270k, part number you mention, and it supply's ignition and direct feeds as their description.

     

    What you have is simply the fuse box

     

    Would be worth you finding out how it's been wired .

     

    What's your Lucas original fuse box like?

     

    Cheers

    He has had few triumphs recently for sale, all very much overpriced, I was told he had sold all of them,apparently thats not the case, maybe the price asked has something to do with it. He is a car dealer.

    The auctioned red 5 didnt do so well did it Neil.

    in General TR Technical

    Posted

    Hi All.

     

    This may be a how long is a piece of string response, but hey ho.

     

    I have a new loom to fit, and have a busy few weeks on and off coming up, where I need to have the car on the road.

     

    During the off period I would like to fit the loom

     

    So heres my query, how long should it take to fit a full loom to a Tr6?

     

    Thanks

    Guy
