Well today I rebuild the Carby today. Fairly easy process until my wife told me we had to be somewhere in 45 mins!!

I think I damaged the gasket to the top plate. So i've gone from black smoke to backfiring, still no control from the fuel / air fixture screw (not surprisingly). So another gasket on the way!!

Cleaned and refreshed the oil in the air cleaner today.
Finally have the old girl purring, after the air cleaner, I replaced the plugs and it idles and runs beautifully.
Also found what was causing the knock in the clutch pedal, the front propshaft was is backwards. I did realise that there was a difference! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...66cb2958b6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d8b867ebf8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ddeda7a2ff.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...25aa0a544d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9dd9aea36b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...986636f6b2.jpg

Thanks.

There's been a long delay....oh and an issue or two....but there's progress!!
So my roadie list:
- Leaking swivel ball
- Exhaust repair
- Oil leaks engine and gearbox
- Wiper not working (how do i prove i only need one?)
- Secure spare wheel
- Parker len cracked
- Truck cab window missing
- Licence plate light to working
- Secure Battery
Not a bad list....now to work.
Whenever I take a Landy for a RWC I park around the corner with some "brake & parts cleaner" and a rag, then climb under and delete all the oil leaks , works every time.
Haha goingbush
The Mechanic is over the road from my work place, I was going to clean it good and proper, then trailer it to work! $100 well spent!!

Two months ago I could have helped you with a couple of those items,
but I had the shed cleared out so that all went to the Land Rover Club in Adelaide. Talk about a pair of scavengers!

There was only one wiper, there are holes for two but no witness marks that another was fitted, therefore I assume there was only ever one. The mechanic questioned whether it required two.....Quote:
