Guess what? I have just discovered that they only made 10 variations of the locking wheel nuts on Discovery 2s! EDIT. discovered this yessdi, and posted about it in another fred. At length. Havent yet seen a reply from the blokey although I helped him find the exact adaptor he needs. Such is...

Me too, but it looks like you are going for a strip down and clean up anyway, rather than just getting them working quickly. I just hope that your work with taking them to bitz and ultrasonically cleaning them doesn't end up with you having to retune them too much.

I looked at it and thought, "This isn't its first rodeo!" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I don't think he'll be able to tell without taking them off. As they are right on the bottom of the carbs. I think!

Think he's got that T-shirt!

Someone seems to have scratched either and H or an I on the lower part of the top of that nut!!!

No need, now you have the above info.;)

And Craddocks sell them. https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/wheel-accessories/locking-wheel-nut-keys/

Better pic of the same info.

Well guess what I found!!!! If you look carefully you will see that the letters for the adaptors are stamped in the bottoms of them!!! Mine is a B so I could see that they read A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J as you go along the rows!!! (Blow the pic up if nec!!) You'll see now why I said you'll need to...

And I was going to suggest compression testing before except I was busy..... Searching my pics! 🤣

That should do it, similar to the one I have been trying to find a pic of for the past, how long? If you turn the engine so the piston is at the top you won't need to worry about the valve falling down into the cylinder!! It'll drop, but not by far!!

Can you put up a pic of it again, with nothing in front of it so we can see where the sticky-outy bit is on it, I don't seem to be able to see it.

Searching through all my pic files on this old pooter. Can I find the pic of that fancy valve spring remover??? Can I flip!!!:mad:

Could be stuck needle float valves. As others have said, they are simple and loads of stuff ont tinternet to help you strip and rebuild them. I doubt rebuild kits are too expensive, but replacement ones sure would be!! They are very easy to rebuild as there is so little to them. Just taking...

Crank sensor?

Blazing hot again here. Up and out early afore brekker to take the apples to the juicer bloke. Only 47 kgs this time. a quarter of last year's crop. Still, better than nowt. W's iPhone 7 wouldn't ring. She said she had shown it to her dottir to get it to ring, she coudln't make it do it...

Just to be sure that it is blue smoke, and nowt else like white smoke? I bought a special tool to change the valve stem oil seals without being forced to take the head off or risk springs, collets etc flying around. I'll have a search for a pic of one for you. As for the lodgers, hope...

We buy barometers every now and then in mixed lots from auctions and sometimes because we like the look of them. Of all the ones we have, about 5, only one works. And we took one that we really like to a specialist to fix, he charged us £100 and still didn't fix it!! Grrrr! You can buy cheap...

Or ATF and acetone, as professed by quite a few including the Repair Shop! Should be quicker than a week!;)
