  1. Morning Still had problems with the landy lurching badly under load So got a fresh pair of eyes and hands to have a look He ran though the electrics , no problems there. So Back to fuel all working as should Carb taken apart and cleaned , then measured the float drop . not a fraction of what it should be so adjusted to correct measurment All back together and took it for a test run , nearly 60 mph without a judder Very happy So before over engineering a problem look at the basics first 3 years we have been running like this and it all boils down to what we first thought fuel starvation Never ever did we think it would be the float in the carb I hope this helps others that have had the same problem All the best Steve
  2. Well lesson learned Over engineering in your head and not looking at the simplist of things From the start always thought it was fuel starvation Read through a few articles and found this Ours New So note to self do not overthink and stick with you first thought Thank you for your advice much appreciated Regards Steve
  3. Compression test on all cylinders are equal Tried the pulling off HT lead one by one and the engine splutters but runs with one pulled not unless they are breaking down under load !
  4. She is squirting well with hose off the carb It is an original Zenith bought ex mod unused stock at Stonleigh 2 year ago and has been cleaned and rebuilt with kit Just seems strange that all 3 carbs acting the same which points to something else other than a fuel problem But does feel like fuel starvation when under load on the road
  5. Does have dual tanks but we went to one because of the problem Runs at full revs standstill bit of a dead spot at the begining Running will lose nearly all power on a small incline Get to about 48mph and throws you about jerking (not twerking) badly
  6. Thank you for the reply Not sure to the distributer as I did not fit it , but will find out 95105431A Rocker cover and engine lime green all over Timing marks are as you say and will tweak it between TDC and 3 We had a land rover series 3 book in the land rover with some small spare parts form Land rover
  7. Morning I have a 79 lightweight landrover series 3 was an FFR The guy 3 years ago we bought it of cut out all the 24v and convert it to12v We have tried to get it to run smoothly but failing as when you get to about 45 mph it jumps about and will not go over We have tried a Webber, Solex and Zenith (which is on there now) No difference ! So as it felt like fuel starvation put on all new hoses , pump, cleaned carb , cleaned tank , new feeder pipe. Got it running then did the timing at the 6deg BTDC as in the book. Still the same ! 45-48 jumping all over the place. So we thought it was dragging in air somewhere Checked all breathers renewed gaskets on the exhaust and carb side. Still the same . It was suggested that we go to an SU but as 3 carbs all had no effect to the problem think that would be the same . It now has a new coil , electronic ignition new dizzy ,cap, leads, plugs. Totally at a loss to why this is still there ? Perhaps someone could shed some light or has had the same problem Be much appreciated Regards Steve
  8. Hi Im ex RAMc medic in Kent Have a MT350 Land Rover airborne lightweight Hopefully will bump into some that i dont already know at the shows this year At War & Peace or Combined Ops Have a great day
