  6. Carb or hoover....

    in Fuel System

    Posted

    Thanks everyone for your answers.

    I checked again the noise of the carbs and it's pretty close...next time i'll have to clean my hear.

    But I think i will have to dismount the carbs and made a joints kit to refurbish the carbs (have some leaks too)

    I have a 150CDS a the front, the second one, have no number but it's a CD one.

    Thanks Johny for your answer, i'll check for the movement of the piston. The synchronisation wasn't much out of adjustement.

    The carb joint to the inlet manifold are new, i replaced it when i have to repair the inlet manifold (banjo break).

    Hello,

    Today i set the synchronisation of the carbs on my triumph vitesse MKII. At the same flow rate (+/- 5kg/h) one of my carb is quiet and the other one make noise like an hoover.

    Do you have any idea of what can cause this difference between the 2 carbs.

    Thanks for your answer

    i colorized this sheet when i changed my donuts. I did it in order to undertsand why the end float is needed and how to set it.
    On this draft, you will see if the spacer and shims are not enough, you will tight on the bearing and you may damage the ball of the bearing. If the spacer and the shims are too importants, the balls of the bearings will not be in contact with their races. And you will have a possible rotation of the hub (top to bottom). That's why the end float is so important.

     I was half expecting to find some shims on the splined end of the shaft but there were none. The fitting notes from CDD suggested that there should be some but looking at the drawing in the Triumph manual (4. 120) doesn't show any other than those within the hub.

     

    You'll find some shims if the bearings need it to respect the end float of the hub.

    Sometime when you are lucky the bearings doesn't need it. Depends of the tolerance of the bearings, of the half shaft and the hub.
    Or maybe someone before you, work ont the hub and don't care about the end float.

    easy to try hold disc   with needle at 3000  and just move the need to read 2200   then re test do not take the needle off as then all is lost as the hair spring unwinds  

     

    Thanks Pete and Roger for your answer.

    I tried this Pete's tips and it worked. But how is it possible the needle rotate on the axis ?

    Does it means, i have to send it for a rebuild?

  22. Too many revs? !!!

    in Gearbox & Overdrive

    Hello,

    i've the same issue on my vitesse. The read on the speedometer seems fine, when i'm driving at 60mph on the speedo, i obtain 56/57 mph with gps.
    But when i'm driving at 60/62mph, my tacho indicates 4000rpm with the OD on.

    I bought a laser counter rev which confirm the difference between the engine rpm and tacho indication. 

    But to confirm that my tacho is out of order i'd like to check if the rpm of the cable is correct (maybe the gear under the ignition system is not correct)

    So Can you give me the rpm of the cable in order to indicate 1000rpm on the tacho. My tacho is a jaeger 3.55-1. So i think the cable have to do 1000/3.55 =282 rpm but i'm not sur.

     

    To check the cable rpm i'll cut a disc in cardboard, put a reflective sticker on it and use the laser counter rev.

     

    Thanks for your answer

    If it empties, you've got a leak somewhere! The pipes don't really hold that much fluid; refill, bleed all four and then watch for evidence of leaks or drips at any of the junctions.

    Maybe the master cylinder is empty because Jeff didn't obstruct the brake pipe when he had dismantle the rear axle.

    That's ok then, my village bistro is run by a Belgian woman, I think she is also Flemish, so I understand the humour. Mind you her husband is Danish - they are 'different'.

    I assume you will be applying for French nationality for the car as I did with mine?

    When i bought my car, i went to a restaurant in Watton at Stone "THE BULL", and it was run by a French woman. It was funny to be in the Middle of England to found a restaurant ran by a french.

    I'll apply french nationality but i've some work on the car before to be abble to do it
