Is there anywhere I can down load info for servicing, just starting to plan ahead for when the chassis is finished and I can start on the engine

2E2 & 2E3 was used on all manner of 80's cars.

Vauxhalls, VW's, Fords and more..

not the best of carbs and as posted came fitted to loads of diffrent cars but thay are not all the same only the basic parts are
some have bits other models dont eg a vauxhall one has diaphrams and bit a ford does not
some times i would get one come in the garrage playing up strip it and do a full rebuild with all new bits and would still be trouble the carb service place said some cars had a coolent blockage problem and the main body would warp.
auto chokes can also give greef
odd thing was some where brillent for years and others where nothing but trouble
webber used to do a good direct replacment kit of one of thair carbs and all the bits to make it fit and manual choke too
