  1. Fuel pump removal

    in Fuel System

    Posted

    The reason I went hi torque starter motor is two fold. 1 it does turn the engine over more efficiently and 2 more importantly it is a pre engaged motor so less wear on the ring gear. Does that makes sense. If not please comment always open to comments 

  2. Fuel pump removal

    My car still has the long original bolt with a screwdriver head on.  But as both bolts are of completely the pump will not come out as it hits the solenoid on the starter. And to make matters worse you cannot use the primer pump once the new pump is on as that to hits the solenoid.  Any suggestions

    Herald 1360.

    Just discovered today that you cannot remove the fuel pump if you have fitted a high torque starter motor which I did about four years ago.  So as well as having to remove the fuel pump you have to crawl under the car to get at one of the bolts holing the starter on.  Unless I am missing a trick.  All comments welcome.

  5. Electric fuel pump

    in Fuel System

    I also have a question regarding my fuel pump.  All of a sudden my pump has stopped working. Fuel is getting to the pump but no further. What is the cause internally in the pump.  Just curious, I will buy a replacement pump, or do I buy a repair kit and is it possible to fit the repair kit without taking the pump off the car.

     

    thanks

    Hello all

  14. Solid .Type prop shaft

    in Drivetrain & Rear Axle

    Hello all

    i have been trying for the last couple of years to find the grease nipple on my prop shaft.  So today had a good look all four wheels of the ground and I cannot find the blessed thing. After a bit of research I found the are three types of shaft a splined one a strap type one and a solid one. Is it possible to have a solid shaft with no sliding splines on and if so there would be no need for a grease nipple.

    Hi all

    just got my 2020 parts catalogue for the club shop got to say it all looks good and the new range of parts and equipment you can purchase from the shop is second to none.  And as we all know the quality of the parts is to the highest standard.  So well done to all at the shop and thank you for keeping the club alive. Always pop in whenever I am in the area and as always get a warm reception. We all should buy our parts from the shop whenever we all can

    Hi Bob

    I bought a SS exhaust for my 13/60 Herald from the club shop and it fitted perfectly and the quality is second to none.  The only problem is i find myself polish the exhaust along with the rest of the car (Is there a cure for this)

  21. Petrol leak on carb CD 150 on Herald

    in Fuel System

    Posted

    Hi all 

    answers to question. It is defiantly a overflow problem as when the car is at rest and as soon as engine switch off no petrol leaks start up and it leaks again at the back and into the air filter box.  No I have not changed the fuel pump. I have just ordered a new valve from James paddocks so when I have fitted it I will let you all know the outcome.  Thanks for all your suggestions and help

  22. Petrol leak on carb CD 150 on Herald

    Hi all

    I have aHerald 13/60 with a stromberg CD 150 carb. Had the carb overhauled four years ago by a professional place.  On two occasions it is leaking fuel. I dismantled it did all the usual things tested the niddle  valve by blowing through it and made sure the float cut the flow off. Made sure the floats were not punctured put it back together and all ok. But it has done it again. On my first trip out on a recent nice dry day. Any suggestions what the cause is and what to do to cure it. 

     

    Thank you 

  25. Radiator cap pressure

    in Cooling System

    Posted

    Hello all

    I have been running my 1360 Herald with a 13 Lbs radiator cap.  Unfortunately the radiator sprung a leak so bought a new one from a very Reputable supplier.  The new radiator was fitted with a 7 Lbs cap.  Car runs OK but what is the difference between the two regarding running temperature and are both OK.  (The first one to say the difference is 6 pounds wins the bobby prize )
