Katie

Have you got a glass bowel water trap/ filter mounted on you're firewall? Near the timing cover plate

Hi
A in_line fuel filter offers no impedance to fuel unless it is blocked with crap
so a SU pump will work very happy with one between it and the carby

cheers
Ian

Good :)

Awesome....ish,
After a heap of stuffing about rewiring then having the ignition assembly from the 88 pulled apart so I could get keys cut for it , and fitting that to Katie she ran like a dream, dismissing my thoughts and days of tinkering thinking its been a fuel issue..........right up to the point where the clutch buggered up. Cant select a gear while she's running so I have to start in gear and then when we get to where we are going turn her off and hope we are in the right spot.
The level of frustration I am feeling at the moment is inexplicable , even to a Landy owner

I figure you've been through you're clutch linkages ? could be something's snapped externally or ajustmemt out of wack.... I had a bad lurch when / if I started mine in gear with the pedal down .... Was advised to park it up against a tree and start it up... Plate was sticking to flywheel.... Worth a try ....it did fix up my issue and the fella that told me reconed sticking was quite common..

Could this be the clutch issue
(click on the title it seems to make it work)

no loose bits prior to where it enters ..ie i had the peddle spin around on the shaft then grip again....ie under wheel arch....and by logic thered be another conection at the change of direction....little bit herelittle bit there made a heap of difference in mine ...seems that as she was running then wouldent release that its a breakage or a slip n misujustment thing....i recon{and know bugger all } id undo the bolt through the leaver that holds the peddle and get someone to work it from the wheel arch and see if theres a difference....then check that theres the same kinda movement at the peice that turns the bit that dosent turn enough{input into g box........hmmm now you know why im not a science teacher{or english for that matter}

just had a look at mine and the spare box ,that shaft the polt passes through{hollow with two holes} only needs to turn 10 degrees {calculated by watch ie 12 oclock to 1 or under} ...theres more movement but its the 10 that works the forks.......are the holes the bolt go through flogged out? a little bit of 10 seconds is a lot and its only light steel into the box i wonder if you can either see how it travels into the box in relation to the bolt{slop i guess}.....thats what i was getting at with unbolt the peddle then see if you get more movement at the bolt{ the bolt in the video looks to move a similar amount to mine}

has someone dodgied it up with a bigger bolt because the two holes are a bit flogged out? looks like you only have one hole in that input shaft?
if so id go bigger till i get a better one

few pics of the shaft movement range and shaft end

Found that the hole in the shaft from the gearbox is a bit flogged out, also found that the pin that connects that small sleeve to the linking shaft was broken. So went and raided the ute in the paddock for pins and such and will work on that tomorrow.
I've looked at the SOLRC forum and there seems to be a bit of consistency in feedback about clutches not working because of sticking plates. so once I've looked at the linkages and stuck the floor back in I might see if I can create some clutch slippage......
