Frequently asked questions

What is the Solex carburettor spring (502982) for?
The Solex carburettor spring (502982) is a spring used in the Solex carburettor fitted to the 2.25 litre petrol engine, part of the fuel system. It supplies the spring force the carburettor linkage relies on for correct, repeatable operation of the throttle and fuel-metering mechanism.
Which models and engine use this carburettor spring?
This Solex carburettor spring fits Land Rover Series 2 and 3 and the Land Rover Defender running the Solex carburettor on the 2.25 litre petrol engine. It's an OEM spring for the fuel system on these carburetted petrol applications.
Why might a carburettor spring need replacing?
A carburettor spring typically weakens or loses tension over time, which can cause poor throttle return or an unstable idle. Replacing a tired Solex spring restores the correct linkage force so the throttle and fuel-metering mechanism work consistently on the 2.25 litre petrol engine.
