Keith, I will take you up on one of those, do you know if they came off a running car, as it would be nice just to bolt one on and get running again.
  If you can email me on,   d underscore i underscore ball at hotmail dot com,  we can work out the details.
   Thanks

i had a simlier problem with mine after takinging it to santapod but mine was only running on the secondaries (nuffing down low was a very noisey trip back home having to keep it above 3500rpm got some strange looks at the lights and roundabouts) after taking off the carb myself and using the haynes manual cleaned it and put it back to geather and hay presto fixed although it was just the jets on mine that were blocked

Any joy with the carb ?

Sorry Keith, started a new job last week so working 7 days a week at pres, you know show willing............you cant do enough for a good boss.........and they told me I was the boss.

Right here we go..........fitted the carb today that Keith sent me, thanks Keith you are a top man, started the engine, bingo it started, only problem was it would not rev below 3300, but revved right the way round to 8000 and the buzzer without any hesitation, after running for a while trying to lower the revs, I noticed smoke comming from under the car, on inspection looking under the car I could see the centre section of the exhaust was glowing red hot. I assume from this that it was burning fuel in the exhaust, hence revving at 3300.
   So here we go again, I will order a new carb rebuild kit to rebuild my original carb, unless someone knows an expert who can do it for me.
