They got the sand right though?.

Thanks for replying.

Yes that's how it was when I removed it but it was working ok?.

I will try and straighten it out.

Good morning.

The choke link on the Carter carburettor is kinked is this normal?.

please see photo

thanks for any advice.

Thanks Jerry will give it a go.

Hi all.

I have managed to get the pump working and fuel up to the carburettor, on starting the jeep it was /running really rough therefore I suspected dodgy ht leads, I changed the them for new ones and reset the points but it made no difference.

I then noticed a tiny leak on the carb - see photo.....couldthis be the cause of the engine ruining rough?.

Thank you both for your advice, I have put new seals on the fuel filter and pump but may inadvertently put e10 fuel in to the tank!, will syphon the fuel from the tank and make sure e5 goes in and will test the pump on the recommendation and hopefully it will start, will update.

best regards.

Help please

After putting the fuel tank back on the jeep and checked all connections the fuel isn't coming through, I have tried putting a drop of fuel into the carb but to no avail.

thanks in advance

Ive managed to shift it- cut a piece of galvanized tube and used it as an extension and to my surprise and relief it worked!!!!.

thanks to you all for your suggestions which i will no doubt use in some capacity in the future.

Steve

Thanks Tony I'm still at it and will try your suggestions if all else does fails.

Quiet a few options to try many thanks

Thanks I will give that a go (how long should I apply the the heat?), also if all else fails would it be recommended to maybe grind  the sides of the nut with a dremel disc and source a new nut?.

Yes I did make sure of that thanks for confirming it's a right hand thread👍

Looking on YouTube and seeing other companion flange nuts removed/fitted they are not left hand thread?, as the transfer case is still on the jeep it would be difficult to get the breaker bar onto the nut?, I'm loath to remove the transmission to take it to the garage I may have to source a stronger impact wrench and hope that shifts it!?.

Thanks guys for you suggestions.

Steve.

Hi Gents

I am trying to remove the companion flange nut from the universal front end yoke and it won't budge.

I have hired and used an impact gun but it still won't move, any suggestions please.

Steve

Sorry! - Hotchkiss m201

Help please Gentleman

Should grease be applied to the seal or transfer case prior to install, if so can you recommend what type of grease should I use?.

thanks in advance

Steev

Thank you have done and thanks to all for your help.

Have pulled the transfer lever back and now its moving!.

Many thanks for your help as you can see I'm not the shapest knife in the draw.

To be honest I haven't tried the transfer box I just concentrated on the gear box?.

Gears aren't stuck they go in and out ok?, when I engage first gear and lift off the clutch pedal nothing happens?.

Good morning

I re-fitted the gearbox and transfer case back on to the jeep and after starting and engaging first gear the jeep doesn't move?.

(I didn't dismantle either boxes and fitted back as is?).

any suggestions please.

Hi John

Really sorry for the very late reply!!, I used a small pair of mole grips?.

Kind regards

Steve

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions,  I managed  to get it off but as mentioned I've rounded the nut!, so will buy anew one.

Help again please!.

I am trying to remove the fuel tank from my Hotchkiss m201, unfortunately the nut on fuel pipe from the tank will not budge!!, I have tried molegrips etc, any suggestions are very welcome.

Best regards, Steve.
