I have just been outbid again on eBay for a new replacement Weber carb for my 2 1/4 series 3!:mad: I can get a repair kit for the original Zenith which works fine apart from the dodgy tickover. Included in the kit is a new throttle spindle and flap which appears to be the cause of my...

I've been messing about with my Landies 2.25 engine trying to get it to run a bit better. I've replace a knackered distributor cap and fitted NGK plugs. I've been ajusting the tickover screw and mixture control screw on the Zenith carb so that it's running on a fast tickover, to try and stop it...

On my Series 3 2.25 petrol engine there's a whopping great metal fan that could power a spitfire plane.:eek: It causes a phenominal draft and I just wondered whether a plastic bladed viscous fan would be better and allow the temperature to rise a bit? I could go down the road of an electric fan...
