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 !!

i had a 6 cly ,i would say 3 500 rpm is max for that engine,never known springs in lucas distributor to break,? had one stuck on full advance,engine ran but used a lot of petrol,why dont you take it off and strip it down and see whats going on? your problem may be the rubber diaphragm in zenith...

i payed £325 for my zenith,bought outright , worth every penny!! rebuilt to high standard , runs far better than weber ,turner advises 3 deg tdc,start from there

best thing you can do is fit one of richard turner's gas flowed heads , he knows his stuff ,believe me! mines cost £743. inc carriage ,worth very penny .........i did fit a su carb , but , it was "a bridge too far"........would bother with that , got a recon Zenith that cost a fortune !but its...

doesnt matter what engine you put in it,there will always be people hard up behind you in their space ship cars,!

its a landrover! ive had 600 x 16 to 265 x 75 x 16 0n steel 5.5 ,, 265s were crap in snow , 600 like pram tyres , ive 235 x 85 on the now , good for gearing etc

if its a weber carb on it , the main jet ,could be blocked ? well know for that

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

yes , good design ,and they dont need corsa power steering or lexus v8 engines in them either !

well said,and once the swivels are overhauled ,like i did ,they much better to drive !!

but why?there are so many modern cars speeding along like there no tomorrow .why do you want to be one of them? why make a monster ? the 1990s was the time for that,there is not many series left ,there is nothing like a 2.25 ,with a few mods , chugging along

weber carb update ,took it to bit ,found dirt /particles in float chamber ,2 of the jets sit at very bottom of chamber ,,so get clogged up 1st,slow running jet on side of carb had tiny particles in it , got can of compressed air and cleaned carb .put back together and going ok,apart from...

great ,ive seen them on e bay for £5.99,will try

to tell you the truth , they are not the best of carburettors , very prone to any fine sediment getting to jets ,which are hard clean and icing too!
