Could this be the correct carb? The same as a LLS carb?
If so then I have at least a typenr. V508C

the carburetter that you need will look identicle to this one except the venturi is slightly smaller for the fv/fvp as i understand.

this carb will fit but it will have a slightly larger venturi (sucks more air) so maybe you will need to adjust the fuel mixture.
perhaps better to try and find the correct carb for your motor.
good luck

But does anyone know the type number of this carb?
That makes searching a little easier.

I don't see a different number on mine. I measured the throat, it's 7/16" and the number is the same V508C. Maybe the luck of that hole should be your guide, then a measurement and that's it.

Thanks to John from SOS I could buy the original carb V508 and the fuel line from Villiersparts.
So, the restoration can start when the post has delivered and I have been to Jan to get the other stuff.
Thanks to all.

Now I have the correct original carb and the curled fuelline but I thought they would send it complete.
It misses the bowl for the airintake and the fuelconnector.
So, searching again for that.
