I Think charllesy has got his wires crossed, lucas never made an injection pump as far as i am aware , to over haul an injection pump is a speslist job and you need a bit of kit to set it up that costs many thousands of pounds, a lift pump is a doddle to clean but it is not an injector pump

on the nitro thing years ago you used to get water injectors for cars, these would give more power and very smoth running, what about using hydrogen-peroxide? this should give all the same things as water but with added oxy, should go like buggery!

The series box has a known fault on the reverse gear, about 10% will be the gear, the rest will be the selector fork, the fork is held to the selector shaft by a singal bolt with a point on, this bolt works lose and you loose the gear, it is easy to get to. Remove the top cover of the box...

Hi, dont even think about stripping an injector pump, it will never work again, if your stuck i have one you can have for twenty quid plus the caridge,

the answer is yes it would if you can get the engine hot first, if you wish to use heating oil put some petrol with it and try to use one of the octain increasing addatives you can buy, i once ran a 3.8 mk 2 jag from devon to oxford ( i was skint) on one gal of 5 star to 5 of parafin with no...

yes it will hit the piston, remove the rocker cover find the valve by checking the tappit clerance, if the valve spring is broken (unlikely) remove head and replace, if the vave has rusted through sitting then use deisel on it and lever under the spring cap until it is free

I have run plenty of petrol engines on parafin, it was not un common years ago when parafin was cheap, a parafin engine has a low compresion head and a hot spot in the inlet manafold to vaperise the fuel, hence TVO tractor vaperising oil, a series 1 will run but you will cause damige to the...

remove the roker cover and watch the valves on no 4 cylinder, when they are rocking, ie both just opaning as you turn the cranck back and forward, the no 1 piston should be at top dead center

sorry i had asumed you had a pre-engage starter, as you have not there are two diferant solinoids the one you want has two spade terminals plus the starter and batery leads, if you only have one spade terminal you can not use a risister type coil. in this case find a feed off the ignition switch...

I fyou take a feed from the main feed on the solinoid when the car is running the feed to the coil will try to turn the starter, on the solinoid should be a small conector this should run to the coil

I have seen a petrol converted to diesel some years ago, he changed the head, pistons, and fitted the pump, it ran but not well, it turnd out the cam shaft was wrong and had to be changed, then it ran fine, later it snaped the crank shaft, the petrol is cast iron the diesel is cast steel, buy...

it could be the switch, but its unlikely, it will not be a bad conection as the light works to earth, it will be low oil presure (not level) this can be caused buy a worn oil pump, or worn crankshaft bearings. all expensive, the onley other thing is your oil, do not use one of the modern thin...

dobby dont be a prat, the adjuster will pull the piston out of the wheel cylinder. this will alow a space that air can be traped in, undoing the adjuster will push the piston in leaving no room for air, there are two types of adjuster, one pulls the shoes out and the piston folows, as in a land...

i dont know yet, there must be a way to alow one shafts to turn at difering speeds using parts from a diff, will have a think, or any ideas please

i see you are putting a v8 in an 80, shame on you, if you want a trialer build from scratch

Gunsons Eazibleed is good, but still undo adjusters, this is so the pistons in the cylinders are pushed in, or you will get air traped

bleading series brakes is a bastard, clamp off the rear hose and one front, slacken of the ajduster on the remaining one and bleed it, re adjust and try brake, get one right then clamp that and move on

yes i think this may be the way to go, a land series rover dif without the crown wheel and pinoin is not that big, its avalible anywhere and locker kits are easy, a new case would have to be made, the outher way seems to be an electric clutch, these are avalible have yet to sus them out

the pump does not have a cold start even the 2.5, the heaters on the 2.5 are ok on 12 v, in paralel the 2.25 has 2.5v heaters and these will burne out if conected without a resister

if its slurping it sounds more like its drawing air, check fuel bowl rubber, where the glass meets the top if not remove and strip the pump, could be a dirty valve, thr solinoid on the carb should have a 12v ing controld feed, this can come from the coil
