Good morning all. Right SU carb man been. A little bit rich so retuned it so now runs clean more than enough for modern day emissions not that I have to worry about that, he said he had never heard such a quiet sweet rover v8 however nothing to do with cutting out god dam it! So not spark Not...

Right I have tracked down an SU specialist and he’s booked to come down next Wednesday so fingers crossed it is the carbs and I get it sorted it would be nice to drive her this summer as I finished rebuilding it last September! Thank you again for everyone’s help so far you’ve all been a great help

Hi yes it does move quickly with the plunger removed. The right hand carb makes a little clunk noise when it re seats the left is slower and doesn’t. I’m going to see if I can track down a SU carb man

Hello mate I will check tomorrow now it’s been non stop raining today, by memory it’s like you kinked the fuel pipe kind of stop. Hope the coils not hot a new one and not oil

Lol cheers dude. It sparked a thought my end as my mechanic mate thought I would cause an issue by not having one. You were checking not a broken relay. Should I look at a pre made loom and replace the lot or more checks first? I will start it again shortly to do other checks asked but it’s...
