hi can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to remove the rear passenger door please?

i've notice i'm losing fluid from somewhere not sure where! toped up the resvoir couple of weeks ago and it's lost over half ,after only being driven a couple of times, any ideas where to look or how to investigate further? or any common faults? there is also a light on the dash (brake) assuming...

ok so still having trouble with car losing power so have had another play today, balanced the carbs, took it for a spin still bogging out when i put my foot down, so i pulled choke out a bit and hey presto car is back to its old self and runs fine, so i'm guessing the choke cuts air and supplies...

ok so in my other thread i was having problems getting the car started, well we now have it started and ticking over revs freely took it up the road it went ok thought i'd got round the block and it did the same thing, lost power and would not pick up speed, knocked it in to neutral and will rev...

thanks for the replies just an update. good news is we now have the car running, i sprayed fuel into the line from top of the filter to the carb and after a min she fired up and i was getting fuel through top of the filter so we filled the filter up with fuel primed the top fuel line again and...

was thinking if i disconnected both pipes to the tap and joined them or blocked them off would that in effect bypass the fuel reserve?

i had the feeling it may be a pump issue is there any way of testing the pressure from the pump?

i've undone the filter and fuel is present upto the filter it's not spraying every where but it's there! if fuel filter is in place and i disconnect the top hose (filter to carb) there is nothing ! this is the same on both new and old filter , i've also blown air through the old filter and it's...

ok so the issue is this, up till a few weeks ago car was running spot on started up and ran great, then one morning started her up got out the garage and lost power and died on me! established that the petcock seal had perished and was the cause of fuel loss, also at this point i did the usual...

ok thanks is there a way of just bypassing it as it seems like a real pain in the arse and for what little use the car gets i don't really see the point of having a reserve tap, especially as if it doesn't get used for long periods i could drag a load of shit through causing no end of grief

i did read somewhere else that maybe an issue where would the reserve be located and what do i need to look out for?

i have not ran out of fuel as i put two cherry cans in thinking that maybe the initial issue, still running mechanical fuel pump, ran fine started on the button upto this morning, i last used it two weeks ago, i have however noticed a smell of fuel when i open the garage door but not noticed any...

we did by pass it with just a hose but there wasn't enough fuel pressure not sure if this was down to the battery becoming drained and not spinning the engine quick enough???

ok little up date i have spark, went out to the car and it started again then conked out, i realised i had left choke out so chances are it just fired up on fuel already in the carb, so i disconnected fuel pipe after filter to carb and was getting no fuel through, disconnected the pipe between...

Hi Ron i have put fresh fuel in about £12 worth still no joy with it starting
