What would cause this?
Can anyone help?

Is it a seal gone?

That's bad luck.

If you were in Sydney, I would say you need to take the carby to Midel at Lakemba. There must be an SU specialist in Auckland.

There is an O ring on the needle that is perished
not the end of the world but needs to be replaced to stop the oil loss
You will need to reset the mixtures if you pull it out

Hi Diana,

There is a Carburettor Specialties place in town, but hoped it might be an easy fix....forgot it was a Landrover thing. Found out about a seal kit today, not sure if that will help.

Just filled it back up and is working again, only last's about 3 day's before it plays up.

I have my Haynes manual out on page13-20, is that the Suction chamber sealing ring Part # 11 on the exploded view?
