Carbies for 74 Celica

I just purchased a 1974 Celica and love it. A friend (toyota machanic) has just serviced it and fixed a couple of minor problems. However it has Twin 45mm Webber Carbies with a 2T GUE engine. i know nothing about engines as im 17 and its my first car, but apparently they are the wrong carbies for the engine. consequently fuel economy sucks and the occasional odd noise arises from the webbers. If anyone can help me with this dilema and maybe able to assist in finding some original carbies then theyre help will greatly be appreciated.
Cheers Aaron

What type of sound do you find thats comming from the webers? if the engine is stock as a rock, the webers wont be making a huge deal in performance, all youl be getting is shit fuel economy, as these are a performance carby, these really come into play when you start working your engine putting bigger cams in, boreing and stroking, raising compression ratio etc..
If your looking for original carbies, look for a pair of Mikuni solex PHH 40 sidedraughts. They come in different models but this model (PHH 40) came out stock on these motors as well as the 18RG which is a 2.0L version of your twincam although slightly different in design, its basicly the bigger brother out of the two..
cheers.

If you want it to be authentic, I guess you've gotta go for the Solexes. However I'm getting the distinct impression that they're even more difficult to find bits for than sidedraft Webers
Do you have any carb specialist shops in your area?

revert to 40mm webers, the 2tg in standard form is not rated for 45's, and they are probably a bit to large unless the engine has had some modification

Hey, the carbies are making a chinking noise every time i put on the accelerator at a low speed. The engine is stock, but it has extractors, electric fuel pump, thermofan and a new sports exhaust, whether any of those play a part. the linkaging from the carbies to the accelerator is a home job and wires and stuff are all over the place. yes the fuel economy is terrible, im getting about 250-300 of a tank. The rest of the car is sweet, no rust clean interior, just needs some original carbies which i may have tracked down from the previous owner. if theyre not ill keep a look out for the ones you said, solexi or something. thankyou for you time and advice, its greatly appreciated.
cheers Aaron
