  1. the fuel leak is actually from the carb not from any pipe but thanks for your reply.
  2. can anyone tell me if these clutches are the same as I am having a 2500 engine rebuilt at the moment to replace my 2000 engine,but clutch has failed in car . I have purchased new clutch for 2500 just wondered rather than buying another clutch could I use the one I have purchased.
  3. thanks for that clive I will check needle valves first,if there fine I will purchase fuel regulator.
  4. have been having trouble with my 2000mk1loosing power when putting foot down.traced the problem to a faulty petrol pump, after a long debate I decided to fit a lucas electronic fuel pump suction type which can be fitted under bonnet. the pump supplies between 2.5/4.5 lbs of pressuretook it out for first run no probs but second time I went out on my return I found that the first carb was leaking fuel . is this because there is to much pressure would a malpassi fuel regulator cure problem .await your feedback cheers rene.

  6. hi there did you ever cure your problem as I have the same sort of problem with my mk1 2000.
  7. hi all I have a problem with my mk1 2000,runs fine when cold but when gets hot starts coughing and spluttering and looses all power then eventually stops. it started doing this on our trip back from the triumph meet at Yarmouth last year. I fitted all spare parts on way home but none cured the problem.parts fitted new points,rotor arm,dizzy cap,coil ht leads,condenser,in the end came home piggyback on recovery truck. can anybody throw any light on to what the problem can be as I am totally stumped cheers all .
