Thanks very much for your quick response. I'll use some engine oil.

HS2 carburettor. To what level should I fill the dashpot with oil and what sort of oil should I use?

Thanks. One further question on the same topic. I've been trying to locate the source of the clonking from the front suspension for some time. None of the possible sources suggeste (by you?) have borne fruit. So I decided to check the oil level in the shock absorbers. The o/s level could not be dete...

I was told that one thing to check on shock absorbers to see if they are OK is to 'put a screwdriver between the arm and the shock body as you look at it though the bonnet opening and see if it moves in and out'. What I wasn't told was if movement is a good thing or a bad thing! Also, the o/s shock ...
