3.5 carb v8 HELP

ha lol, tbh I would get the carbs off and send them away to have them re-furbished at carburetor exchange. you will need em nice for when your using it and no sense fecking about beforehand just to get it home.

the back nut is a fecker to get to on the manifold you need to pull the carb away while your undoing it to get enough clearance for the nut to have somewhere to go.

a short or cut down spanner does help

Personally I think your air/fuel mixture is out of whack a fair bit, when a carb engine ticks over nicely but dies when given some throttle indicates a in correct setting..
obviously the whole lot needs a overhaul after being stold so many years but like I say is she ideals great as youv stated your mixture settings need ajusting..
sorry for stating the obviouse but thats my 2 cents worth!! Lol

every little helps i wish i learnt about carbs when i had the chance im taking the inlet off tomrrow and gonna give them a dam good strip and clean order up some parts the next question is does anybody have a trailer and wanna help me move it fuel and beer can be exchanged

It is far lol on a plus note I got the carbs off and both floats were stuck and sticky so I cleaned them out and blew through them with ease so hopfully thursday she will run

cool , vid please

I will do one and post it on here tomorow fingers crossed

it lives again now how do i upload a video?

Stick it on YouTube and post a link maybe?

good plan i will do that now thankyou

ok here it is i hope.
it's alive - YouTube

ok so running but on the throttle it dies im thinking piping but really not sure how it all goes back together i did take pics but my son has deleated them so im stuffed any body have any clues

so its the same as before?

Not quite after another play about it now just wont pick up revs on the throttle and there is come blow back from the left carb as you look at them from the front

did you strip service and set up the carbs using new parts and the manual? there is quite a bit to them to get them right.

tbh is could be timing too by the sounds of it.

Yeah with the help of my father inlaw im just stumped

i think i may set fire to it now the starter wont spin grrrrr

It never rains....

I had this recently, starter didn't spin, so replaced the blown fuse, still no go.
Learnt how to remove a starter motor, that bit went well, nothing stuck or broke
Bench test - all fine, so bolt it all back on (in the rain), connect it up and... nothing.

I have now learnt to check that the replacement fuse is working even if it looks good.

Land Rovers - love em.

Any idea where the fuse for it is in an 89 110 v8 coz im stuffed lol but thank you for your input

Sorry, not a clue.

Mine is an S1 (3.5 SUs) with a lunch box full of relays and fuses on the transfer box.

Try shorting out the solenoid terminal to see if that fires, if it is working then check it is getting power down the wire.
