I've seen some references to it's use on the 1108cc and a 1200cc engine though nothing in detail. Every other reference is turbo related. It's an odd carb - the choke diameter is massively bigger than the throttle diameter (choke must be 50mm plus) which seems strange. It's got some weird water heating not on the manifold but on the base of the carb. Edit I might have been daft.

I was lead to believe (third party from the previous owner) it was a replacement carb from some super big engined Renault. One of the reasons it came off was the throttle would only open 1/4 of it's travel partly because it was restricted by a screw with a tamper proof cover that was inaccessible with the carb in place. Further communications (again third party) with the previous owner suggest it may have actually been original which would explain the tamper proof cover being intact. Though it's not that tamperproof so might be there as a locking mechanism.

Renault would never have restricted throttle travel to 1/4 of max would they? It came off a Cameroon spec '89 1108 F4. I'm coming to the conclusion this was the carb originally fitted to Cameroon spec F4 vans. The previous owner who said the car was fitted with a carb from a big engined Renault has now clarified that the carb is the same type as fitted to the big engined Renaults but that he didn't fit it.

The other clue is that throttle opening. There's an original looking tamper proof screw (arrowed in the photo) that restricts the throttle opening by more than half (photo is flattering). That's going to be good for economy! The screw is inaccessible with the carb in place. It's looking like Renault of Cameroon had run out of Solex 28IF carbs so fitted the 32DIS instead.

Just restricted the throttle opening so the car still operated at Renault 4 speeds. Goodness knows what they did to the jets if they were prepared to restrict the throttle like that! No wonder it didn't run very well. I'm in the market for a Renault 5 1100cc carb (one of the 45hp ones) if anyone has one spare. I've got the manifold, water pump, rocker cover and air filter housing to suit, just need the carb. Malcolm I came across this pdf file from aussiefrogs.com that lists the carbs fitted to R4s, R5s and more It seems to list the Solex 32 DIS 876 as fitted to the 1128 C1E /19 engines.

The engine plate on Claude (The F4 in question) gives the motor type as C1EK7/19 So it would, it seems, to have been an original fitment. But the 239B (Claude's oval plate No. ) is shown on this list to have had the C1E 18 engine, as you say perhaps a special for the Cameroon market. Edit - looking in the Haynes manual the Solex 32 SE1A seems to be shown as being set at what looks like 1/4 open for full throttle. That's brilliant information. Thanks for that. From the aussie frogs chart it looks like the jetting is in the range used on 1222cc Renault 5s, though with a smaller air correction jet.

That would presumably make the mixture a bit rich on full throttle, though if you don't get full throttle that's not really a problem. It's possible the running problems were down to the choke control mechanism having fallen off or the overflowing float chamber rather than the carb being from something else. Do you want it back for originality?

Otherwise I might try fitting it on Ermintrude to see what happens at full throttle. Took the thing apart this aferrnoon. Doesn't look like that model will run reliably at full throttle opening. There's a weird arrangement not mentioned in the R5 manual that opens up a fuel jet at about 1/8 throttle as normal, but for full throttle the operating lever would need to be bent, and would no longer open at 1/8 throttle. That would probably mess up the mixture. Lucky thing as I can't figure out how that choke mechanism would have been fastened on either (probably with bits I don't have).

Anyone got a Renault 5 carb? Just got home so can type slightly faster on a proper keyboard rather than mobile phone hoping to get back to barn later in week found a big pile of r4 bits even my friend (who owns the barn) new nothing about there are at least 2 mk 1 5 carbs there + manifolds also brand new tiny solex in mouse eaten box!! Brand new 845 water pump, 3 new 845cc pistons and liners another ha1 box etc etc oh and at least another 30 sets of points pics and exact list soon matt will have to have first offer if i can find complete carb set up for him though unless the 1108 R6 is to be broken up. Update on the 32DIS - Robert persuaded me to fit it to Ermintrude at the weekend. Gave it a good clean up and made a new choke mechanism mounting. The screw that restricted the throttle opening must have fallen off while I was playing with the choke, so I had to alter a cam to make that weird jet that is closed on part throttle open at the right time.

Mixed results - It runs fine at full throttle, and the power curve keeps on increasing at higher revs rather than the tailing off with the standard carb. No pinking trouble so the carb must be spraying plentiful fuel in under hard acceleration. Rubbish on part throttle though - it's too lean. I'm wondering now whether that jet that opens up at 1/8 throttle is actually an anti-run on device for a main(ish) jet that should ideally be opening just off idle. Nothing in the manuals that mentions this device. Seemed ironic that the carb runs badly on it's restricted opening but quite nicely at previously unavailable throttle opeings.:roll.

DIS and that carb update for malcolm (and other interested people ) came back from barn with 2 boxes of assorted R4 goodies? 6 carbs = 1 x 28If 1108cc 1 x new solex 26 dis? (with remains of box) 2x solex 32 (1 auto 1289 r5 mk1,1 x restricted as already discussed, prob early 5gtl ) 2x zenith 32 both 1108 cc but seized spindles this lot is all totally unknown history or condition 1 manifold to suit 32mm carbs ( but think ihave got another in my garage ) will post the 4 x32mm carbs on to you and 2 manifolds( hopefully ),will keep 28If for matt Guez any takers for 26mm carb what does it fit? Part number on box see pic more parts and pics to follow in spares section later.
