Re: Genuine help from you experts needed!!
Are you checking the rise / fall of the piston with the damper removed? There is a small guide / bracket attached to the side of the carb body with a small slot headed machine screw, which is visible when the dashpot is off. It locates in a groove in the piston, and correctly located the piston and ...

Re: Genuine help from you experts needed!!
The visible top of the jet on the carburtettor bridge is rarely 'dead central'. Usually when the jet is assembled in the carb, it is centralised relative to the piston and needle position during the gentle nipping up of the nut (red arrow) whilst continously raising / lowering of the piston. When yo...

Re: Genuine help from you experts needed!!
Not questioning anything you've've said in any way :D , but I am assuming of course you are trying to adjust the mixture using the correct part of the carburettor? The green arrow is the mixture adjustment, whilst the red arrow is the securing nut for the jet assembly to the carburettor body, and on...

Re: Genuine help from you experts needed!!
Yes, any adjustment to the mixture really neccitates the removal of the 'elephants trunk'. Otherwise its like trying to decorate your hallway through the letter box... :lol: You should be able to turn the mixture adjusting flats quite easily with your forefinger and thumb; no need to use any type of...

Re: Genuine help from you experts needed!!
It's difficult to suggest any specific points to check, but... Sounds like your lack of performance is definately carb related. Have you checked the basics such as the piston movement - that they rise and fall smoothly and freely with a gentle clunk, the operation of the throttle linkages, the kick ...

Re: Power steering is getting quite stiff.
Have you tried lubricating / greasing it?
Remove the hex bolt on the damper, fit an angled grease nipple and give it a couple of strokes with a grease gun. This is supposed to part of the service regime apparantly.

Re: cut-outs after reving above 4500rpm
I have a 1976 2500S with HS6 carbs and the engine is totally standard in every respect. Initially it had Waxstats with poppet valves on the butterflies. Whilst it ran very well, I thought it ran out of puff at higher revs, although there was none of the symptons you describe. I changed it years ago ...

Re: Clutch
I am wondering about the function of the springs in a clutch plate. What happens when the clutch is incorrectly mounted i.e. back to front. This is possible we have tried it out on an old engine. Hence the markings on the plate. Or has anybody driven a car with the clutch plate mounted incorrectly....

Re: Tow bar with electrics
The cross bar part of a Mk2 estate (between the bumper holes) will fit a Mk1 saloon as the rear end of a Mk2 estate is a Mk1 rear end! But the bracing bar that runs under the boot floor will be different.
