Forget it they need to rev/run to pass emissions usually anyway this is just covering them, " please don't fall down the toilet"

It would take a hell of a lot to puncture and it should be protected by the chassis/other elements in the main part. I guess metal was probably cheaper back then.

Why were the tanks not Plastic ? Just curious some late 70's cars had plastic tanks and they are still going strong.

Just had a look see and 1/2 the foam from the air filter is gone, so I am guessing that's got sucked through into the carb.

Ta, will do for 40 quid I can have a new coil and knock of carb to buy me time to work clean the genuine one.. Thanks chaps.

Would easy start into the air intake be enough ?

Briggs Stratton 12hP mower engine, its a Westwood T1200. This looks like it will be it but I will check model numbers later. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2332490.m570.l1313&_nkw=briggs+and+stratton+12hp+carb&_sacat=0 Its a 40 plus year old mower so suspect it may not...

Thanks, can the jets really not be cleaned? , I may consider a kit but its 45 years old and the cheap Chinese kit is going to be lucky to last a couple of years tbh. Ultrasonic bath ?

Thanks, there are some I can move around a bit. I was thinking it may be the coil....

Welcome, looks nice, whats the Gold Finger laser pointing at it ?

Crazy isnt it.... Mine used to go to a regular garage never had an issue but I know technically it shouldnt. But technically they should have a tacograph fitted in France.

It all depends on the history, are there signs of a new rear cross member ? or fabrications on the chassis.

Some bleeder did a chassis refurb and couldn't be arsed ? I have had outriggers and tank supporting brackets missing on vehicles in the past. Do you mean these ones https://www.paddockspares.com/da2019n-front-of-fuel-tank-outrigger-swb-lh.html

Are your wheels balanced and aligned ? Following that Steering Damper check, assuming suspension etc is ok.

Hello, welcome.....

Welcome, I am afraid I think you need someone a bit more capable than a mechanic and an electrician.
