  1. Hi there was there any news on these please? I do realise there has been a pandemic…🙂
  2. These are also good points. The fuel pump could do with a refurb on principle. (It’s on the jobs list, and I’m musing going electric ). I have no idea when it was last done and don’t doubt from the state of the carb that the pump diaphragm will also be showing age. I suspect that was part of what was behind the initial issues. But I doubt it’s the main cause of the present issue because the engine just dies with no rise in revs, rather than showing willing and then dying I have now fitted a fuel filter I suspect/hope you are right about gunk On the question of garages has anyone any experience of west end garage Bruton? They are not far from me and iirc from CMV have a side line in MVs?
  3. Thanks everyone unfortunately the easy wins have been tried. The starting and idling were a bit suspect, and fresh fuel was the first thought. Then two months standing converted iffy starting to non starting, which led to a carb strip and clean, and (much needed) renewal of the diaphragms etc with the champ spares kit. Now starting and idling are as they should be but acceleration is the issue. It may be as simple as a stray bit of muck, or it may not, and as there are a few other nice to do jobs on it I’m at the stage where the time and skill vs cash trade of is in favour of having a garage with experience look at it I think
  4. Hi all I wonder if anyone has any recommendations for work on Dingos, specifically the carburettor, around Bristol/wilts if possible? Mine will start and idle without difficulty, but usually dies as soon as the throttle is touched. I guess there is a issue with the speed jet. I've been known to have a go at fixing a 125 cc bike carburettor (or a chainsaw !) but that is about my limit and I am not at all confident I wont make things worse if I start poking around in a solex . Any suggestions for somewhere that may be familiar with these carbs please? Many thanks
  5. Hi there Just saying hello on joining the forum. I’m looking forward to learning About 10 years ago I got my first MV, a ferret, and obviously not having learnt the lessons taught by fixing leaking gearbox, fluid flywheel and of course bevel boxes (err, not that fixed in that case) I recently persuaded my wife that a Dingo would be better than a pension payment... hmm well maybe! At some point something like a Norton 16H might happen Why MVs? For fun really. Not much of a mechanic but I can manage bolt on bolt off jobs if you see what I mean. If time allows Anyway I’m mid 40s, Bristol/Bath area, I’ve been a lawyer for the public sector for about 20 years, oh, and I’m not called Jerry (but I am a Michael Moorcock fan) Steve
