grease nipple 3/8 unf . can buy a pack from most automotive parts outlets . ,as for grease use cv grease ,the oil content helps reaching parts the grease doesnt. mick

on one of my other forums this has been discussed before , have you bought aftermarket jets as diameter can be wrong and the nut doesnt control it well ? check thickness of washers between carbs . suppliers supply a 1mm washer as standard some cases it too thin . any hydraulic or fuel injection agent can supply thicker washers mick

try it again, but coast out of gear . does it do it at a certain rpm range regardless of road speed ? mick

the ac delco glass top pump , theres only 1 pump but around 25 different levers to fit other makes / models .was even used for some diesel engines ,car /boat and air

wrong heatshield fits between paxolin plate and carb .not pax plate and manifold . dont forget gaskets at every joint . mick

1st thing check that the coil is wired correctly , if you think the electronic ign is playing up dont fit accu spark , 123 or chinese surefire . fit either aldon or illuminetion !!

when replacing the body on the frame the process is : 1: fit bonnet and square to frame , 2: fit front tub and square to bonnet . 3: fit doors and square to front tub 4: fit rear tub 5: ignore manuel for mounting height square to other body parts shim /pack to frame to suit . 6: fit roof 7: re adjust every thing again as fitting the roof changes everything including how your coffee tastes mick

most likely difference is between drum and disc brake ?

this is for modern alloy heads , ,figures as per my chart differenciate the difference between cast iron and alloy heads , mick

how tight .? well just torque to it over a coffee .? 3 x dugga duggas ? Most spark plugs (flat seat with gasket type) have a 'crush washer' or gasket which becomes compressed during the initial installation, this allows around half a tightening turn of the plug to be made once contact between cylinder head and gasket has been established. Once the gasket has contacted the cylinder head we would term it is 'finger tight'. Subsequent reuse of the plug will allow only one twelfth of a turn to be made after contact due to the gasket already having been compressed and as a result installation torque being reached much more quickly. Failure to observe this guideline may result in a damaged plug or cylinder head - to the extent of fracture or thread stripping. At best, an overtightened plug will not perform correctly - the spark plug's internal components will be 'stretched' and may not be able to dissipate heat correctly thus effectively increasing the heat range of the plug, making it run hotter and possibly overheat. Plug and engine damage may result.. If using a tapered (conical, without gasket) seat plug type, after contact of the 'shoulder' or mating surfaces of the spark plug and cylinder head is made, only one sixteenth of a turn should be applied. This applies to both new and re-used taper seat type plugs (common in Ford engines). In certain circumstances tapered seat spark plugs can be prone to seizing, this applies especially to certain models of Ford Fiesta and Ka. The best way to guard against problems of this type is to remove plugs midway between recommended service intervals and ensure that any corrosion is cleaned up before replacing.

thanks dick mick

vee the crack and weld it . your rear mount is under lateral stress slacken mounting bolts on the plate and drive it around the block to settle ,then tighten mick

whose the current contact , info on forum is dated 2020 i'm looking at becoming the USA east coast AO, this would help Dave out in Washington , and David out in Toronto. i'll be based in saratoga springs ,NY later this year mechanical services available and will endeavor in stocking fast moving parts mick
