Quote from: lewisneale;604764i also noticed this bit broken when i was in the engine bay ..... some kind of vacum part i believe... am i right ?
being dumb here but i don\'t know what it does...

Alters the choke valve angle in the carb barrel when you pull the choke out, depending on temperature (there is a bimetal element) and vacuum (there is a vac pipe to the bottom flange). A feature I think designed to reduce overchoking problems in warmer weather.
Can be adjusted with the little nut on the end of the rod. The adjustment needs various temperature measurements to get an exact factory setting - might be best changing the broken diaphragm unit and setting it as near back to where the adjust nut was as possible.

More than welcome Lewis. Not many people want the content of my brain anymore - the kids just want the content of my wallet.... joking....

I gather the FB has been sold Lewis. Will we loose a club member? I hope not.
Can you tell me (for my register) what area the car\'s going to? PM me if you want to keep it confidential.
