--- Quote from: "macca" ---think its the same problem as mine.when running on gas the su carbs dry up and the float sticks and needles wear becouse there is no lifter kit like the strongburg carbs. thats what happend when we were camping at the old man and had to strip down my carbs at the camp site.also check the breathers from the rocker cover to the carb and inside the carbs that it is clear.

 :D Cheers macca, ill check the breathers as well hopefully it will cure the running problem on petrol. I supose ill just have to run it petrol a bit more than i normally do. :evil:

--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---Sounds like you need a set of carb lifters for running on gas, they move the piston out of the way, with an SU or Strom they will otherwise keep lifting and lowering as if they do when running on petrol.  I'd have thought this would screw up your gas mixture too, as it's effectively another throttle.  Another answer is to use a suplimental oiler, which will protect the whole top end of the engine.  A third way is to swap to Webbers :D

 :D Cheers for the advice about the lift kit, but if it comes to that ide rarther fit an EFI unit on it like what was originally on it before DPG put it on his Disco, the Disco carbs are now on my Rangie and have been running fine upto now. I hopeping its just needle ware and the carbs just need cleaning...  :(
