So found my old ‘real’ one (see pics) but it still has the crappy pressed in valves. Stripped it down and gonna fit to see if it’s an improvement.

Thank you, really useful. I’ve not looked inside my fuel tank for a while and not serviced the carb for over 5 years, filters all look fine ‘but’ I’ll take the hit and get a new OEM one from Paddocks. The know the lift pump fitted is a copy with pressed in valves etc. Need a real one 😉

new lift pump it is - ill try anything. thanking you

Hmmm same but just seems to empty (clear filter). If it’s evaporating where from?

Thanks Kermit, Just need to check the plugs next time I crank it up after a break, that way I should be able to see if they are wet etc? 👍🏻

Hi knowledgable folk, just trying to find out / gather ideas why my Series 3 2.25 fuel drains back so quick from the carb (Weber). Starts great in the morning from cold and if you leave it for 10-15 minutes when hot it'll start straight away. But, if i leave it for longer than 30 minutes it'll...

Sold, Thank you

Thank you Ian, that really helps. I also have the right rear tailgate mount in the way. Did you have the same problem? Think i just need to grind it off to make the bottom bracket fit. Rich

Brillant, thank you. I was toying with keeping the spare on the bulkhead but id rather have the internal space and it looks better. Rich

Afternoon everyone, Anyone ever fitted a Mantec swing away on their Series rear safari door? The instructions don't give me the measurements to drill the door for the mounting plate. I suppose i could fit the actual carrier and see where it will fits with the door and measure from there...

Evening knowledgable folk. Slowly taking my spare engine apart to check all the bits that may need replacing and began removing the cam lifters and guides etc. Initially guide was stuck and came out after a squirt of oil…..and so did the follower leaving the roller sat on the cam lobe (it was...

Thanks Steve, Had it running so all works together. Found out it also has hardened valve seats and stainless exhaust valves to match - winner Rich
