Frequently asked questions

What does the carburettor spacer (278162) do?

The 278162 carburettor spacer fits between the carburettor and the inlet manifold on the petrol induction system. It sets the carb off the manifold face and insulates it from engine heat, cutting heat soak into the carburettor body and the fuel inside it. It also forms part of the carb mounting flange.

Which Land Rovers does the carburettor spacer fit?

The carburettor spacer fits petrol Series 2 and 3 models and early Defenders running the carburetted 2.25 petrol engine. It's an aftermarket part. Use your engine and carburettor type to confirm the spacer matches your induction setup before ordering.

How is the carburettor spacer fitted?

The carburettor spacer is typically sandwiched between the carb and manifold with a gasket on each face, then held by the carburettor retaining nuts. It's usually a straightforward job with the carb off. Check both gasket faces are clean so there's no air leak into the induction system.
