    Problem Series 1

    Thanks again. Don't think it's dirty fuel. Tanks new and the in line filtre is clean. Thanks for the explanation of vapour lock. I think I can rule that out. the carb was definately cold the last time it played up although the inlet manifold was hot. I'll come back once I've taken the spacer out...

    Problem Series 1

    Thanks Worf I'll give the carb on manifold no spacer a go. The more I look at this the more I think it is a fuel air mix problem. Sorry for the numpty question but what is vapour lock. I always wanted to gen up on engine mechanics but now I've bought a series 1 it seems to be a necessity. Nick

    Problem Series 1

    Thanks for that. Mine will also do a complete refuse to start. Repeated start attempts with not a hint of starting then after about 5 mins will immediately fly in to life with a good start. (No half way house.) The carb was bought off ebay. It had never been fitted but had sat on the shelf...

    Problem Series 1

    1953 Series 1 - Where to go for spare parts?

    The above is good advice. Apart from a few missing bits and a few none S1 stuff it looks in really great condition. Buy it and get it back to how it should look in your own time. You'll wind up with a nice example that you can use.

    Series 1 head.

    I have a 1955 2L 86" series 1. I'm fitting a Weber 34 ICH carb and a K&N filter. I've been told that you can fit a high compression cylinder head from a Rover P4 60. Anyone done it or know anything about this. It's never going to be a pigeon catcher but I do use it and a bit more umph would be...
