    Series 3 Britpart wheel cylinders, premature failure.

    avoid britpart ,for important things ! you can get a cheepy zenith carb copy for £60 by the real deal is over 300!! same with distributors ,cheepy copy of lucas for 40 quid , real mccoy is nearer 200!!, i would hate to buy a "restored " landy done with all britparts !!

    Zenith carb question

    looks like choke cable stuck,if that doesnt work ,the rubber o ring in the carb could be leaking ,letting excess fuel into manifolds or just general old zenith heat distortion on jet block

    problems at idle/low revs
