MG Midget and Sprite Technical - HS2 Carburetters

Hi

Please can anyone advise on the change point by engine or Gan number when the twin carb set changed from AUD 136 to AUD 327 on the Gan 4 MK3 midgets?

Thanks.
My car is a mid Jan 68 built Gan 4 Midget with a
12CE-DA-H/3** engine, fitted with AUD 136 twin carbs which appears to be the correct spec for the car according to the information in the Terry Horler book.

The info was a bit here and there with a bit of crossing over and allowing for North American cars.

It also has page 100 -
. "The first generation of 1275cc engines carried the prefix 12CC, but this was replaced by the 12CE intermittently from HAN9-71937 and GAN4-60326 to HAN9-72670 and GAN4-61026 (December 1967), from which point all engines were of the 12CE type except for those for North America.
. "The 12CE and 12CD engines were painted in a lighter shade of green with a hammer finish."

and page 117 -
. 12CE-DA-874 (Feb 68) Water pump revised in parallel with 12CD 1745

. 12CD-DA-H-1745 (Feb 68) Revised water pump with larger diameter inlet stub, lubrication plug deleted. Revised bottom hose

The chassis number for my car is G-AN4/61***-G which fits in date wise with the information in the book.
