Obviously, I am not after a freebie, I wou...

Gear stick movement

Hey all, Out of interest how much movement should be in the gear stick, as in how much does it move?

Re: Seat Belts

Guys,

Am I missing something here? Do I have the right manual? This is my screen with the suggested articles.

I'm looking for details on seatbelt points.

Re: Engine cut out only when idling

Evening all, So had a chance to have a look at Monty's idling screw today and after a couple of attempts it was having no effect.....until......I noticed that one of the two nuts holding the carb onto the block was so loose I could turn it by hand, this meant that the gasket was leaking air! So, aft...

Re: Engine cut out only when idling

Ahhh, fantastic I'll give that a go first before I start taking bits off! I have got the Haynes manual by and have now downloaded the pdf, thanks. I'll give that screw some adjustment and update on any progress! Thanks for the quick replies, I knew this would be a good place to start. J & Monty

Engine cut out only when idling

Hey guys and girls, Having just got myself a 1969 2 Door Saloon, Monty, I was looking forward to my first post being a positive one but sadly not the case, instead, I come seeking the advice of someone in the know!
