Backfiring
greasemonkey:
HI
the straight six back firing on over run points to advanced timing
are you running with unleaded
or with unleaded plus and octane additive
there is no need for the additive as it has hardened seats already
as it's an ali head and the block has hardened seats to
being a side valve engine
also check the advance pipe as these do leak as they cross the
whole engine bay
the cd175 is a good carb
is the cold start still fitted?
cheers

Yoshi:
It was the condensor in the dizzy
Spacemud:
Couple of quid and LOADS of hassle then, typical Land Rover!!! Oh well, bet you are feeling relieved now :wink:
Nick Bradshaw:
Thanks for the advice. The new carb is a cd 175, as you say. Bought it from Gower and Lee, Watford. They have a warehouse full of them. The distributor was £75 from Craddocks; they've got plenty as well. It is lacking the adjuster, but not any problem. Cold start is fitted...that is, the indicator light and contact. I've taken the exhaust manifold off and spent a happy three hours or so flattening it with a long rasp. It seems a lot better, now.

What on earth is a dizzy? :?
also, is it possible to get gaskets for exhaust manifolds?
