If this is not set properly, the float needle will not press hard enough against the float needle seat and the fuel will fill the float bowls and overflow through the vent tubes. Alternatively the fuel level will be too low in the bowls leading to fuel starvation Adjust by bending the part that acti...

The airfield is an option or somewhere on the Tableview beachfront

Comet sell a fix for the ball and spring, part 100857230, Oil Pressure Control Valve, about R180. replaces the ball and string. I am thinking of moving my VDO off the engine and mounting it on the firewall, with a flexible rubber tube connecting it to the engine. I replaced two VDO sendors in 100 ho...

Yes been a long time in the making, welldone guys

Now to move ahead and provide real value for the members

John Boucher is in that area
