    With my google fu all I could find is another carb that looks the same called Carter YF. That air tank thingy shall remain a mystery. Here is some more stuff in boxes I dragged out and am not sure what they are. Some kind of noise maker I think: The middle elbow does not have a place for the...

    right James Martin score 1. Here is a carb I found in with a bunch of solex carbs. I don't think its Land Rover option, but I thought I better ask. Here is a empty canister with a hose fitting on each end. Lastly for now is a sump, just need to know if it is for petrol 2.25, or another...

    Hi, I have been slowly organizing, and labeling my spare parts for Series Land Rovers. If some of you forum members could help me to id the stuff in the photo's if they are Series parts or :mad:not Series. I am up to around 300 different items according to my spreadsheet. I might post a new...

    Hot engine cuts out

    Procrastinated until the sticker experation today. I planned to make a wire from the ac clutch to the fuel pump relay nearby (after market ac kit installed from po's mechanic). Well I found out a rat chomped through a bunch of wires (i guess thats why the A/C stoped working a while back lol)...

    Hot engine cuts out

    If you are correct I would like to see your wiring diagram. I have a el-cheapo electric pump installed now, but might switch that to faucet brand if your wisdom fixes my problem. Is your faucet brand pump quiet? Do you remember the model number? That is a good idea with the oil dummy light. The...

    Hot engine cuts out

    ah vapor lock at the mechanical fuel pump! I can try to play with that. I will look around for some hose clamps and then try bypass the mechanical pump. I will change the momentary switch to a non-momentary it goes to a relay so maybe a wire from ignition to electric fuel pump relay. I hear...

    Hot engine cuts out

    Hello, I have to do something like a annual MOT for my 2.25L petrol this week, and have one issue that might show up depending on how hot it is the day of the inspection. (I am going to try and go early morning) The issue is the engine cuts out when it gets hot, if I rev up, or accelerate then...

    2a Possible fuel starvation

    Not to hijack your thread, but I justed fitted a electric pump in mine last week. I used a generic pump - I tested a max of 5-6 PSI (vacuum) on it and it did leak out of the zenith just a bit if I left it run. My brother in law made a custom bracket for it just forward of the fuel tank on the...

    Testing the starter motor

    Update: Just installed the new starter. It was really really loud, and scared me :eek:-lol compared to what I was used to with the old one. Before testing the battery was at 12.2V. It measures 10V when cranking -measured at only the battery posts. Sounds like its really cranking fast. I would...

    Testing the starter motor

    Just tried another battery from another vehicle I drove on the highway for a hour prior. Same result with the jumper cables, the starter sounds like it grinding on something, not a screech, but I would would say more like a hiss. It starts spinning and the rpm seems to fade as well as the...

    what does everyone want to do to there series then

    I want to change all the bolts to imperial or BSW (original). I am tired of carry both metric and imperial around with me, and having to crawl out from under the truck to get the other. (previous owners) lol

    Testing the starter motor

    With the unit off the engine, and hooked up to some jumpers cables it showed 7-8 volts maximum and slowly faded into 5 volts. I blew out the inside with compressed air, and same results. The battery jumpers heated up too at the ends where the wire terminates to the clips. That is odd being that...

    Testing the starter motor

    Need advice on the starter motor. The starter on my 2.25L petrol can barely turn the motor. Here is what I have done so far- -Measured the voltage, and it was less then 6-7 V when engaged. -Measured the resistance of the wires and ground- fine -Swapped a battery with another vehicle, and same...

    No spark

    Had the same problem on mine that Oldseadog said. On mine I had to mess around with 2wd 4wd selector lever in the middle of the road, intersection, stop signs... all the time because gear control would slip out to neutral. The bolt fell off one of the control rods/shafts and the mechanic of...

    like a shotgun

    Like in the movie Uncle Buck my landy shoots a afterfire? out the tailpipe about 4-10 seconds after I kill the ignition. Also if I don't put it in gear and use the clutch to lock the engine she will diesel for about 30 seconds and possibly backfire out the carb. hehe A real head turning display...

    Advice needed on Loom

    ok johnny, thanks I took your advice and routed it that way. I think the clips on the bulk head might be wrong, there were a few holes to chose from for the mounting the clips. lol I got up to the grill. I am still not sure where to slide that protective rubber section on the harness too...

    Advice needed on Loom

    Expert advice needed lol! Trying to fit a autosparks harness and lol not sure how the loom gets routed. No instructions came. The old loom was somewhat custom; fitted ok -a bit patched up from rodents, but I doubt it was correct. Anyways I have a good diagram and I know where 95% of the wires...
