The flooding is probably due to a faulty needle and seat valve - you can replace yourself for under R200. If you go the weber route, there would need to be modifications to fit it as well as a anti flood on inclines mod to the carb itself and then lastly, I would think that a weber 38 would be more suited to the 2.4 ..... all means more extra bucks and by the time you're done it's well over R2000 and that's if you DIY.

I would sort the original carb. Just M2CW.

Thanks a million you make a very valid point I have heard that the fuel runs back and yes mods today very expensive there is a company in Durban that refurbishes carbs maybe I should get a kit..

I also think the vehicle retain it's resale value better with original carb.

That's true I also heard that if one installs a Weber on a Hilux..you need to install an altitude regulator..so that's more costs
