Yeah, I haven’t been able to switch off the airflow to the floor on mine for ten years, but hot/ cold works, I can switch the screen vents off and the rear vents on and off and the fan works, so it’ll wait ..... lol

It’s air cooled, so there are two cables , one to each side heat exchanger pod  to switch the heat off ? 

Oh so same sorta system as a beetle?

Yep, really long bike brake cables type 

There is adjustment between the the inner and outer cables, by moving the outer further back or forth in the clamp if I remember correctly , at the knob-end *



*knobend refers only to the dash controls 

So can you successfully direct the airflow up to the screen and shut it off so no air goes to the screen 
and likewise with the floor vents ? 

are we sure that this 

isn’t causing issues , are we sure it hasn’t got a build up inside where it’s obviously restricts the flow ? 
 

 Would be tempted to disconnect the bleed rail , block all the orifices except the end and blow either hose piped water or compressed air through , then block the opposite end and unblock each outlet at a time to ensure it’s not blocked ......

 Assume you are referring to the air flow direction flap , from screen to feet ? 
 

Told you the cooling system would be fine ! 

when was your last MOT ? 

No need to replace the cone filter , just wash it through  yes plugs , rotor arm dissy cap definitely, leads I wouldn’t think would be part of this  carb service kits are available from BW , but you may find just cleaning , lubricating the pivots and moving parts and making sure it’s all shiney and ...

Carb and ignition service and set up then 

Firstly , if your battery won’t allow you to crank the engine more than one go , the battery is knackered !  from cold , as has been said above, get in, press the pedal to the floor firmly , lift foot off , turn the key , it should spin over No more than 3 cycles and be started . from hot, get in, p...

Yes, a pat on the back to you ! 
well done sticking with it . 

plusgas would have been better than wd40 ( plusgas is a penetrating fluid , WD40 is just a water dispelling lubricant!) 

keep us updated on any developments though.......

now go have a celebratory mug of tea and a choccy biscuit!
