Hi Everyone, I want to ask some advice if I may. I noticed today some brake fluid under my 'Moggy' and on inspection it appeared to be coming from the chamber where the master cylinder is situated. I took the cover off the chamber and there was a significant amount of brake fluid in the bottom of th...

Ah !
Actually the previous owner has installed an in line fuel filter between the fuel pump and the carb. I was wondering if that may cause problems, but not sure how

Ah Good...cheers

Hi Everyone, I went for a run in 'Mable' yesterday and after about ten mile the engine suddenly died on me , on a dual carriage way when I was doing about sixty.
