Sounds like a problem at the clutch then, maybe clutch release bearing? Clutch isn't disengaging fully when you depress the pedal and so gearbox input shaft still turning. Is there a difference in the gear change when the engine is off? I will check the cluctch with the engine off. If it is cluctch...

You sure its not the mechanism? Best rule all that out first. Has it had new gearchange bushes? Have you tried to select gears at gearbox end? No, I have not tried at the gearbox end. But there is a fair amount of nasty graunching when I open the engine cover and depress the clucth and other strang...

My gearbox seems to be breaking up. It thas been difficult to get into first for two weeks from stationary (drop into second and then back up to first usually does it). Now it has deteriorated and sometimes goes into third rather than first. I guess I need to get it rebuilt or replaced. Would replac...

Taking out the tank and cleaning out Tue sludge us nit that easy I would think. It had been there since 1986 and the bolts might be a bit stubborn. Is it possible to suck out sludge whilst in situ

Problem not resolved. The magnets under the fuel tank seem to have worked for a while. Anyway was running ok for the last three weeks, until two days ago!! Then stuttereed up a hill, cutting out. Then five minutes with a downhill run, clreared itself. Two days later and running lumpy and cutting out...

Please see the recent Pierburg 2E3 thread for more info: my T25 has been, on and off, cutting out on tickover and also has problem on not picking up on throttle and stalling. I think it might be flakes of rust in the petrol tank ( it is the oringinal tank, is rusty on the outside, the car has often ...

I have recieved carb refurb kit from Gower & Lee. Also asked for an inline fuel filter. They have sent a generic one. Less slimline than the one currently fitted (which is like a tube with one rounded end), It is bigger and barrel shape 40mm diameter, 60mm long. Any reason why i should not fit it?

Ok.. fuel delivery Remove the king lead from the coil to prevent starting Remove the fuel inlet pipe from the carb. get a suitable jug Point the pipe into the jug get an assistant to turn the engine over You should see good strong healthy squirts of fuel into the jug. Poor fuel delivery? Remove the...

Still struggling to understand what is happening. Carb kit nit arrived yet. Last night driving along ok for 30 minutes, then engine stops wanting to rev, and then cuts out. Starts again ok and tick over ok, throttle down and cuts out. Rather than opening up and squirting on the carb cleaner, persist...

one may get through but if several get in they build up. You would be amazed what turns up in a floatbowl Good news about no debris. Can you see now why you are doing this? By removing debris from the equation you can eliminate a whole raft of related issues Old fuel lines rot and dump vast quantit...

Action: 1) Have just ordered a magnet to attach the outside of the fuel tank. If there are rust flakes, then this might help. Presumably fix magnets to the bottom of the tank avoiding the outlet pipe area? 2) Try and clear the filter as the fuel pipe goes into the carb. The long thin cone one which...

One step forward and then back again, the joys of t25. Trying to follow the one step at a time as kev has suggested. 1) Rechecked the vacuum hoses. Possible perforation of the bend in the dizzy (?) connection pipe at dizzy end. Refixed with new hose. 2) Then removed top and sprayed in Wynn's carb cl...

Thats a coolant hose from (28) It heats the autochoke Exhausts are allways black and sooty and is no reflection on the air/fuel mixture Maybe it is not from 28. It gets very fat in the middle and then ends up down in the engine manifold below the carb. So that hose has nothing to do with the possib...

One thing at a time. Let's take a methodical approach. You are going to have to remove and clean things..to do that you have to dismantle stuff. Sounds daunting? Well if you think EVERYTHING has to be dismantled then you're wrong...and no settings will be disturbed find a clean place to work. undo ...

How do you test the vac advance unit? Which part is it?
