I agree .
the biggest difference I have done and made a lot of difference is to machine the carby body ,
fit a bush for the main shaft .
when its worn it allows a lot of variations , air ingress . and , you get the idea .
it is worth it if you have some one that can do it .

the other possibilities are sealant in the mushroom valves . in the oil pump .
it is recommended to reface and re seat these when rebuilding .

the best sealant . and the one I used was Suzuki Sildar .
smells like model aircraft glue but is silver in colour .
bloody brilliant stuff .

Pirelli webbing is the easiest way to replace them , that is what you have called rubber webbing . but upholstery elastic webbing can also be used . this is done by sewing the loops on the ends . disadvantage is it needs more pre tension . so it is a bugger to fit . but it is a lot cheaper than Pirr...

all in fun , but also serious .
cockies are very destructive . not good eating .

at least roos are bloody good eating , back straps (eye fillet) yum yum .
good tucker !!!!

and the rest is lovely in many ways .

"good condition " ?????????????????????????????

I think the description is a "little" enthusiastic .

John . a very interesting look at it .
I had not thought about it till now

Gary . sounds like yours is set up much like mine .
I find it a lot better than the mechanical pump

kerry

I have never noticed any noise from the extra 2 thou and have set an awful lot at that
I cannot ever recall having any problems at that setting , even erring to the loose side of 8 thou

kerry

I have fitted 12 volt fuel pumps , particularly handy for when you run out . no need to turn the motor over and over to get fuel to the carby . it also helps with a quicker start , carby fills straight away , on mine turn the key , when pump stops clicking ,I just normally only need to just momentar...

I have gone back into my paperwork.
it was common for clearances to close , particularly exhaust .

I always set both at 8 thou .21 mm
if having difficulty setting them accurately , err on the loose side .
set cold

this is 2 thou above recommended , never had problems .

kerry

thin and or smaller diameter washers can bow /coin and settle into the stud posts . giving wrong head tension , but this gives loose tappets . out of interest what tappet clearance do you use . I will not go on memory , I know I always ran exhaust a bit different to factory . because they had a habi...

ok , sorry . i did not read your comment correctly .
kerry

have you got the big genuine steel washers on the head studs ,
i have seen this with thin washers .

kerry

just a comment , I have not had problems setting up the original governer .
but I have only set it to factory specifications

G,,day mate and welcome . I have seen a number of engine conversions . I am yet to see a satisfactory one , let alone a good one . loss of ground clearance or extra rear overhang . also wrong torque / power characteristics . I am not saying it is impossible , I just haven't seen or heard of one . ch...

just looked this up for some one . wheel cylinder rubbers , non genuine . PBR front kit , K 719 S rear kit , K413 S front cup , P 4420 rear cup , P4422 boots , front and rear . P 4600 these are Aussie PBR part numbers , and I cant remember what vehicles other than Haffy that they fit . cheers, kerry

that's interesting . as all i have specified is the bosch W5AC and that is in original paperwork . but a lot of other things can affect the running . other than electrical , carby is very common . and often it is the butterfly shaft . worn and sloppy holes changes the mixture a lot . rebuilt a numbe...

I just always set them up as left for left , right for right .
just logical .

kerry

G,,day

I have only used Bosch W5 AC plugs for a very long while
it is the recommended plug .
for both standard compression and high comp motors ,
do not have a problem with them .

since they did not see fit to install breathers from new ! For this reason I now let everything cool down before taking the plunge ! I haven't spotted any breathers on my Haffie, let alone breather extensions - you need a Landrover for them as standard ;) or a G Wagen that has them as standard . al...
