Still running rich Andrew. When funds allow a new carb will be fitted. She rarely goes out so I don’t think she over pollutes the already toxic air around here

Sailed through MOT today, no advisories
Merc tested just after her and again pass with no advisories
Now,after a full afternoon in a perishing garage I am shaking with cold and trying to thaw. Not good as I have been somewhat unwell recently, requiring the attendance of a blues and twos ambulance 😳
At least the girls are fit for another year

Last year I was talking on mobile phone to friend about something. Later that day, and for several days after, I had adverts online for that very product. Big brother listening??

That is a tragedy for you Chris. Some people have no conscience
Don’t give up. I have been forced into it and it is not a nice situation Dave

Thanks Andrew. Choke cable was fitted whilst the car was parked up. That ferrule is a real pain. You have to get it just right or it pops out of its socket Have now arranged for my original cleaner (like a daughter to me) to do an hour a week helping me on things in the flat and on the cars. Not much time but at least it’s a start

New choke cable recently fitted so that goes off really well. I will get float chamber dismantled and inspect it as soon as I can
As for local car clubs, I was a member of north east branch of MMOC and even hosted their www site on my webspace. It didn't end well. Not had contact with anyone there for over 10 years
Hexagon nut is right at the top of its adjustment range. Moving it down just 1 flat shot the carbon reading up to 15

David The fuel hasn’t evaporated - gauge shows same as when I parked her and in the past she has been unused for much longer periods, and she runs fine now. I will check it out though How I yearn to be able to do things myself. B....... youths showing off behind the wheel of his Dad’s van. I was told 30 years ago this would happen but I didn’t realise it would be so difficult to handle

Local garage tried, complete with CO probe up the exhaust (car,not mechanic) and 12.8 was the lowest level he could get, and even then it was with the air cleaner removed

The pancake filter I have has the air hole enlarged I still have the original air cleaner but prefer the pancake one
I have every bill from order and invoice in 1969 through to 1997. I purchased it in 2006 and have not touched the carb, so one of the two owners between 1997 and 2006 must have changed it

Yes David, 12.8 carbon emissions Will investigate when I feel well enough and when Son returns to do the work. That carb has always puzzled me. I can’t find any records of it being changed but an inch and quarter pancake filter back fits and inch and a half doesn’t

Must add that emissions check last year came in at 12.8 Next job is carb methinks. New needle and possibly jet Son returns to Surrey next Saturday so that will be a job for when he next returns to civilisation

She now runs perfectly with new plugs Old plugs being dispatched to check on the mining rights value. I have never seen such encrusted plugs in 64 years messing with cars Had to show my apprentice which way up the plugs went. Still, he managed
