Soap and water on a cloth to start with, only go on to some thing more aggressive if that doesn't work.

There are only two possible routes for petrol to get into the sump on a Petrol engine. 1: the mechanical fuel pump, leaking diaphragm - which I read that you have changed - Do you still get petrol in the oil? 2: the Floats in the float chamber have got a leak and have therefore sunk and are allowing...

Try to bypass the petrol pump by getting a container of fuel and putting it on the platform. Use gravity to feed the Carburettor. It is possible if you are seeing dirt in the fuel even if a filter is before the pump that the pump itself is causing the dirt. Have you checked to see if the Governor bl...

Do you have the governor fitted? If so, disconnect it and try. Have you changed the spark plug cables? Replace the rotor arm in the distributor after you have serviced the distributor / oiled the moving weights / checked the springs. Checked the valve clearances? Done a compression test? If you have...

Have you done a compression test? Also recheck the electrical ignition settings, maybe even dismantle and clean the distributor. Replaced with trial use / spares:- The ignition coil, the spark plug cables? When driving, does it run better if you put the choke on? If yes, then you definitely have a b...

This description is a classic case of dirt in the fuel line getting stuck in the idles jets. Take the plate off the side of the carburettor and then take out and blow through each of the 4 jets behind the cover. There are two small jets with holes on the sides of the brass tubes and two larger jets ...

Another way would be to dip the whole battery box in a container filled with anti-rust treatment before you paint - you could also paint the same way, but it would require a lot of paint!

They look like early Landrover mirrors, in which case you should be able to find them on Ebay.

I will send you another scan when I am back at home, at work at the moment. Regards, John Hello, I am sorry I have not found any better picture of the wiring diagram that I sent you. Can you see if you can understand the wiring lines from that picture to make the new wiring diagram? I will keep loo...

I only have it as a PDF created from a picture, so it is not very clear. If you can improve it, I am sure everybody would be delighted including me! Unfortunately, this forum will not let me upload a PDF.
I will send you a PM.

Very nice, much clearer than the one in my book. Now all I need is the correct one for the Civilian Haflinger 1973, with the two fuse boxes.

Sorry, thought you were trying to remove the Swivel pins. (Item 46). Not a problem to remove Item 2, Top swivel pin bush. Heat the casting around the bush with a hot air gun or a blow touch. Get it hot enough that you can not put your hand on it. Now you need a small sharp cold chisel or a pin punch...

Make sure that item No: 47 has been removed from the casting. Use a length of 7mm threaded rod to screw down into Item no: 46, first making sure that the hole and thread is properly clean all the way to the bottom. Now find a socket from your tool kit that is a: big enough internal diameter for item...

The heart of the problem is the Dynastart. It is only designed to provide just a little more than required by maximum load, i.e. with engine running, lights on main beam, wiper motor running. When you add extra, stop lights or indicators or horn, you are actually taking power from the battery, which...

You can get the battery tested. There is a tool that you put across the battery terminals and it measures the voltage and then you apply a known load to the battery. The voltage will drop and how far it drops tells you if the battery is good or bad. A good car garage should have one and be willing t...

Metal ring is screwed on. Then wash lots in Petrol / Diesel to remove old grease.

They are a standard design except in length - take an old one to a good spare parts shop that sells wheel cylinders and they should be able to match them.

John

If it was petrol then you have either a stuck petrol inlet valve or a hole in the float. Either way, you will have to take the top off the carburetor and have a look.
