I had an interesting experience the other day.
Driving on one of our busiest motorways out of Auckland and my P6b started loosing power in heavy traffic.
I dawdled into my daughters place close by and looked over and under the now stopped Rover.
The fuel filter in the engine bay was MT. Investigations took me to the fuel pump in the rear wheel bay.
The pump was ticking over nicely.
Was then that I noticed the shut off valve was shut .
Took my opportunity and cleaned out he filter within the pump too. A little bit of crud had accumulated over the last few years.
I must have flicked something up off the motorway onto the valve causing it to close off the petrol to the carbs.
First time ever this has happened and at the time rather vexing.
Goes like the clappers now with the valve open.
