Alpine Clues

Next steps in the diagnostics. Attacking the Webers.

Tightened the bolts holding the carbs on - as a couple were only finger tight. I fact I tightened them all.

Then test drive seemed better again. Put 10 litres of fuel in (without additive) and continued. Seemed OK or at least a bit better as before.

Then looked at using my vacuum gauge - it does not fit Webers only SUs - Dho.

I just sprayed the carb cleaner in them and revved a bit. Tightened up the bolts a bit more, tinkered with the tick-over and went for another drive.

Again seemed better.

Then I stopped and added my Redex and octane booster - and it seemed to go back to the problem.

PM went to Landgard Fort for a recce. Nice comments from chaps there about the car.



They even too a photo or two.

Next I'll run the tank low and start again with no additive.
