 | Lancaster Carburettor Ok, I have been set a challenge- to name all the parts of a carburettor  I think the challenge was set for a bike or car carb. But as I love the 'Lancaster' I thought .... if your gonna name parts.... then choose something you love.Now I need HELP. I know a fair bit about the Lancaster ... well for a girl.....(I can't believe I just said that), such as I know that they had four Merlin Engines, I know that by carefully shaping the fairing round the lower edge of the dorsal turret improved the air flow and gave an increase in internal fual capacity. And other such stuff.... but finding out about any type of carburettor used in the Lancaster ( or the Manchester come to that)...I need help with ??????? PLEASE anyone out there.  Thank you all, Crippen (Bev) |

| Lets see here... The Lancaster was powered by 4x 1,640HP Rolls-Royce Merlin 24 engines. The Merlin 24 was sporting a SU AVT40 2 barrel updraught carburettor with automatic mixture and boost control. Hope that helps, if you need any more info, just say so
