Carburettor Overhaul Kit - service kit for the Weber twin-choke carburettor fitted to the 2.25L and 2.5L four-cylinder petrol engines.

The kit is intended for a full carburettor rebuild rather than a partial repair: the carburettor is removed, stripped, cleaned and reassembled with fresh sealing and wear components so that fuel metering, idle stability and mixture control are restored to specification. It covers the carburettor variants used with both electric and mechanical fuel pump installations.

Symptoms that call for an overhaul include fuel weeping at the body joints, flooding, an unstable or unobtainable idle, hesitation under load, and fuel consumption that has drifted upward without an ignition fault to account for it - all typically traceable to a worn needle valve or hardened, shrunken gaskets. Carburettor setting and mixture adjustment must be carried out after reassembly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC5863 carburettor repair kit for?
The RTC5863 kit is a full overhaul kit for the Weber twin choke carburettor fitted to the 2.25 and 2.5 litre four cylinder petrol engines in the Land Rover Defender. It supplies the sealing and wear components needed to restore fuel metering, idle stability and mixture control.
Does this suit both electric and mechanical fuel pump carburettors?
Yes. This kit covers the Weber carburettor variants used with both electric and mechanical fuel pump installations on the 2.25 and 2.5 four cylinder petrol Defender, so you don't need to identify which pump type you have before ordering.
What symptoms mean a Weber carburettor needs overhauling?
Fuel weeping at the body joints, flooding, an unstable or unobtainable idle, hesitation under load, and fuel consumption creeping up without an ignition fault all point to a carburettor overhaul. These typically trace back to a worn needle valve or gaskets that have hardened and shrunk.
Is a carburettor overhaul a DIY job?
A Weber overhaul is within reach at home if you're methodical. The carburettor comes off, is stripped, cleaned and reassembled with the new sealing and wear parts. Carburettor setting and mixture adjustment must be carried out afterwards, so plan for tuning once it's back on the engine.
