Dun't get this one

Yup

Nope. Eye is on loocasade tonite.

Decades?

I know the jet does not move, the jet should only be used to set the idle mixture only. But if you go hog-wild and wind it down too far you affect more than just the idle mixture, you affect the first few station positions too. :(

7 then ??

Been oot to put the centre console n bits back on, drives far better, fault in the ns indicator & a led drl out. Got new leds here but they are a wee bit smaller & dont quite fit in the bumper hole like the others.

Web site bocked cos eye is only 6 and 2 arfs.

Yer its an all men only club with bob giving the extras, he'll give you a BOB A JOB 🤣 🤣

I think they do ‘extras’ 🤪

Oh aye the place were you get a happy ending :D:D

Sorry, jet goes down if you inscrew it, I'm in the pub 😁

Jet doesn't move Needle goes up and down as you say Have you tried no oil in the dashpot just to se if its the same ?

Just a thought, the jet in an SU isn't adjustable All the jets are the same size and fixed in HIF 38 carb for instance, just have different needles for different cars

100 thou. So 1/10 of an inch. Without measuring it, just looking at by eye on your pic, that looks to me a bit more than that. Just saying. Have you actually measured it? And I am not sure who you are referring to, is it you, being ironic about...

" it allows the synchros, which may be slightly worn, to disengage and engage." This is a bit mad, but I only learned the other day, and this is after having rebuilt a few gearboxes, :rolleyes: ,that the synchro rings do not stay stuck to the...

No, SW but far east corner of the TARN, touching on the Aude and the Herault. I'll have to look up 32! 🤣 Aha, the dept which contains the famous place Condom!! I think another member who lives over here may be a bit closer to you than we are.

@Stanleysteamer well, well, well. Here is our SU carb "expert tuner" showing us all a perfect plug after a tuning session. Just like the guy in the YT clip advised look at the fire mark/band on the earth strap of the plug. 100thou' band just...

Yes I know. If you wind the jet DOWN the mixture is enriched across the entire needle profile as the needle moves up and down. Contouring the needle at the relevant "stations" affects the mixture at the station-specific rev-range. The needle...

Should be strong enough to withstand the wind on the inside of the tent after a night on the beer and curry -----.

I had noticed that the pre-ignition "bang" seemed to always occur when trying to accelerate from a low (15-20) speed. I know generally how the SU carb works and I realised that if the throttle was suddenly opened that the dashpot would rise and...

Hi, which dept are you in? We are in 81, far south-east corner of. (Don't know much about Freelanders, we have Discos.)

Hi everyone We have owned our 2011 Freelander 11 TD4 for over 8 years. From Ireland to Greece and now to France she has given us brilliant reliability and few issues aside from completely random temperamental central locking which has been dodgy...

So flipping hot here, stepping out of the house is like stepping into a sauna, and that is stepping into the shade.:)
