You should clean and rebuild the carb since it has been sitting for
13 years. The accelerator pump can be leaking for several reasons; Pump
gasket is split or deteriorated, the screws are loose or as in many cases
the screws were over tightened at some point and the cover plate is warped.
Always check the accelerator pump cover and the power valve cover for
flatness and do not over tighten the screws.
The carb ID tag is triangular shaped piece of thin aluminum placed
under one of the screws of the carb top cover with ID# and build date code
stamped into it. The ID # is also stamped into the casting of the carb
base flange, front left side. You should see something like this; C4DF
with 1 or 2 additional letters.
The Tiger Shop Manuel is a copy of an early Ford Manuel. The carb
shown is a pre-emissions carb and is different than the carbs used in 1964
and later.

Subject: carb problems
hey tiger guys,
this weekend i got my tiger running after 13 years of sitting in the
garage.
I had no problems at first, until the accelorator pump on the carb was
leaking. So that tells me that i need a carb rebuild kit right?? When i
called
some parts places they said that they needed a tag #. Well i cant seem to
find
one on my carb. Can someone tell me where to find the number and how many
numbers/letters it is long?
When i looked in my "Sunbeam Tiger 260-289 manuel" the carb in the pictures
had a differant accelorator pump. Does anyone else have a differant stock
carb than in the pictures?
Thanks
