Evening all, I've just taken a misbehaving Zenith "Made in UK" off my 83 109 shed, and I have ordered a rebuild kit offa da net. I have probably overhauled a hundred or more carbs over the past fifty years, but never a 361V. New territory for me Can anyone point me to a good "how to overhaul...

There's another tank mounting opportunity forwards of and above the rear wheels, I reckon.

I'm not in the slightest bit surprised. Pleased for you though!

No more so than the existing petrol tank surely?

If you do locate an appropriate LPG tank or tank assembly for that position I'd be happy to hear about it.

Years back I'd have agreed with you. Nowadays there's a significant risk of being unable to move my shoulder, or leg, or neck, or any other appendage when I wake in the morning..... I've always rather like pussies. I'll bet it is....... Thanks

Looks like a COTS system spliced in..... effectively like a Corsa system.

I had one petrol ono start second spin after hand priming the carb with the pump. It had been sitting at the back of a barn for 13 years. It clattered like crazy until the oil moved, then worked - unserviced by the owner - for another five years before the heel on the points wore away.......

My experience is that you just do a cursory fluids check, and try to start it. I'm amazed by how many just do!..... Just exercise the systems:- Brake pedal hard? Pump the clutch - if it feels right, engage a low gear and find bite. Engage reverse...... I usually try and move seized drum brakes...

Therein lies the problem - there's some contamination (water) got into the carb and this has happened twice now. I also have two tanks full and nowhere to put it - so I need to deal with one tank at a time, hence the question!

Thanks - helpful, probably. It's a start. When do you propose to get the rest of the parts?

No-one got an ex-mil with two tanks?

Chaps/esses, Which way should the changeover valve jobbie point for which tank?

Yup. With the driver door stuck shut, someone of my size cannot get to it. Had to send the wife :D. Now sorted, thnks. :)

Having got now as far as actually looking at the job, I reckon I can cut both legs of the striker loop with a decent hacksaw blade. some masking and some jigging.....

>>small motor as far as you can Ah. Brutality and kinetics. I approve.

Now that's the kind of precision brutality i approve of. Thanks. I'll have a crack at the weekend. I can get into the vehicle from any door other than the driver's. This is not convenient! :D

Does the team think that I should just find a new door and go in with a disc cutter?

Oh Good. I had to scrap a perfectly good Honda once upon a time when the door permanently locked itself. Anti-burst mechanism had over-rotated and the only way in involved an angle grinder.
