Thread: problem came back

Have you checked your engine vacuum or done a valve leak down test or compression test?

If you fit a normal "t" piece, you will get the symptoms you describe because the engine will be lean.

PhilipA, are you talking about the T in the attached pic.
if you do, from what i have seen, it's a T like in regular garden T pipe.
i'll look for an original one.
the thing is that the T was before the problem appear, so i'm not sure.
lando- i'll check.

O.K i have checked the T.
the upper line of the T is with regular hole.
the leg of the T is with small Dia. hole.
is it O.K. ?

Yes
Regards Philip A

to check the compression there is no problem, but i don't know the vacuum hoses, except the brake system.

without the pipe it will not stall and with the pipe it will rev up and down and stall.
any idea?

Did you set up the "Base idle"? .... The procedure is written in the Landrover repair manual

Also .... Clean the breather lines + the flame trap



How many k's is on the odo meter?

Unsure of the "build year" of your D1 ....

Early model D1 had a metal can flame trap ... about the size of a egg cup ... screwed onto the L/H breather hole of the rocker cover ... Basically it is just a metal can with stainless steel mesh pad .... Just drop it in Kerosene (Degreaser) ... shake it dry and all is good.

The newer D1 system, was just a breather pipe mounted to the rocker cover that has a plastic worm restriction inside it .... Remove the restriction and clean it

No need to buy new items
