MG TD TF 1500 - Wrong carbs

Help , don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I can’t get comments printed . I’ll try again . I just want to know if The H9 carbs fitted to my TD are original or is this is why it runs rich and never needs choke.

They should be H2, I have never heard of an H9
They would be massive, any chance of pictures.

Some Jaguars use an HD6, never heard of a number high as an H9! But I'm not a carb Guru either. PJ

There are even H8 carbs on Jaguar, 2” or 1 and 8/8ths of an inch.

Thanks for the offer Ray but I seem to have a camera fault . The carbs look original H2 but have no insulation gaskets but are stamped H9 so maybe they have been messed with .

If the stamping is on the mounting flange, which I'm suspecting it is, it's an alpha/numeric dating code
-H9---September 1952
Being a later 52 model TD your car is most likely a TD2 which would have 1 1/2"---H4 carburetors

Best results if your pics are under 400KB (email size), they load up nice and quick

Thanks Willy . Yes you’re right , they are stamped on the mounting flanges and the car is registered late 52 .
