[Rovernet] Why HS8's on the Rover TC2000?

[pierre janusz]

 Why not just for more power?

 Yes, thats what I remember, rpm related lean mixture and engine damage. Thanks Steve!Gord

There’s some evidence that they went for the 2” Days because harmonics at higher revs caused the pistons to drop in 1.75” carbs. That leaned out the mixed and burnt holes in the engine pistons. The larger carbs could handle the resonance and stay stable.

Hi All,    I am sure this question has been regularly posted in the past but here it is again. Why the 2" carbs on a 2 litre engine? Rover never did anything without a good reason. I believe I read somewhere in the dim, dark past it was because of a lean spot in the rpm range???Cheers,Gord
