[fatjoe]

Hi Guys,

I've been bothering AL members asking for all kinds of Q's about dis old Lancer box. I'm back after about 1 1/2yrs and lyfe changing (lyfe threatting) experince. ma Restoration project got stuck for dat perod. I'm trying to make ma LB roadworthy again. Almost complete. Ma issue is, me and ma uncle ws looking 4 a carburetter for the Lancer Box. tried Panchikawwatta, Delkanda and some other places but No Luck. Appreciate if you guys let me know any place I can look for or any other solution like coupling.

Thanks

Did you try seaarching in BMC watte in panchikawatte? Carb from old lancer models which had Orion engine should go with this.

Isnt there a mechanic who's doing this job? Orion engine is shared among lancer models and used across few (two?) generations hence there's a chance it will suit your car's engine and not that I'm 100% sure that your car too has an Orion engine. Simply, if you take the carb off, and show it to those spare parts fellas in watte, they will find a match for you.

welcome back to Autolanka

if im not mistaken all Lancer Box's of upto 1400 CC came with Orion engine while the 1600 ,and 1800 cc had some with saturn engines .

would be great if you post a pic of your Box model car

the 'Watte' is bound to have the carb
