IT was poorly painted black (looked brushed on)... So dipped in thinners, wire brushed off, then rattle can primer and silver.
-
Couple of silly little jobs today. The grill had been painted black, so I've put it back to silver as I did not like black, didn't look right, also sanded back the rear chassis and lift handles and resprayed. Looking to take the seat box off in the week
-
It's non stop now, winch is on the worktop for a clean up and fresh seal. And have new rear tailgate hinges as the old are fudged and who ever had it previously didn't do a good repair.
-
It's a webber 34 ich. So maybe different to the Haynes. Only has idle and mixture
-
Yeah it does sound like it's getting too much fuel. How can I check float as its not visible. Could the float of gone back in wrong position as I've put new part in?
-
It's rough as hell cold, spotting out smoke.. One step forward, two back ha
-
So I have done the service on the carb, gave it a good clean out and now starting the truck it's running silly rich. Am I right in saying it has to be warm before you tweek the idle mixture? It's spluttering like crazy
-
I now have the grill soaking in paint thinners as it's been painted black. And today have taken the carb off to overhaul it. Currently it's just drying out after a spray of cleaner on it.
-
Got the rhd light to go with the other that was right.. Also bought a card overhaul kit so will redo all the seals etc on the carb. Will get seat box off soon to get to the TB and gearbox etc.
-
Yeah, it's currently on the parents drive so think if I stripped it I might be disowned haha. I made a school boy error today, delivery turned up and one of the headlights is LHD. I thought I'd hit buy on the RhD twice. Obviously not haha
-
Oh I'm. Not giving up. Just would be nice to have a proper workshop...
-
I just don't have the space to do a full strip down rebuild. Which is a pain as it is something it probably does need.
-
I have sealant. So that's a start ha. Can get ptfe easy enough. Just have to get the access and clean it up.. Part of me wants a big barn to strip it full back.
-
Got one bud, just not the space at moment to go crazy. That is the only hole I've found, it's on the front fuel tank bracket. Want to at some point get it strip it and clean it off and waxoyl etc.. One day...
-
Had a few hours this afternoon and got the floor plate out of drivers side, will have to do pass side and tunnel to get a proper look. Also I swore at the 50year old bolts that were rusted in place. Then took the dremmal to them. Knew my random purchase of that thing years ago would pay off haha..
-
Hoping to keep this In trust for a fair few years and then hand it down. But that will depend on if and when I have someone to hand it too.
-
Started to unbolt the floor plate. The bolts are as old as the car I think. Ones snapped on me. Will replace all bolts once I've got it up. Horrible feeling the leak is going to be in a crappy place.
-
Ah flat head screw driver to the rescue then ha. Least its the weekend, although I'm afew pints down and some malbec tonight.. Sunday maybe..
-
Have taken the middle seat out and you only see the very rear of it all. It has the last 50+ years of Gunk on it, so started to get it off.. Can I get the gear ox tunnel off without going crazy taking anything else off??
-
Definitely seems to be coming out the TB just not sure at what point of it... The sump is fitted with a new gasket and leaks in exactly the same place at rear which is pointing me towards the rear crank seal.
-
Great cheers will get onto that this weekend
-
You are right it's not wet there, it's very wet along the bottom of that unit. And it's dripping off the plug., to see the top I'm thinking it's through the seat box?
-
This is where it seems to be the worst area
-
Think I have just accepted that there is more to do than first thought. Haha. But it's a runner and solid
-
Well it seems that I need to get it up in the air and a lot of seals replacing haHa. Transfer box for definite, then there is oil coming out of front drive shaft where it meets the gearbox. Think it just needs incontinence pads on the ground
