The Classic Marque

FYI I have fuel pump issues from time to time. They like to be run and my car just does not get enough exercise.

BTW have you checked both fuses?

Like Steve says give it a tap with the ignition on. Also you might want to try to remove the cover and sand the points. You can also try to manually force the diaphragm to move to help free it up too.

The red light could be as...

I'm in the process of re-painting the two carburettor air filter enclosures on my Jan. 68 built GAN4 Midget.
The enclosures appear to have remnants of Coopers air filter labels on them.
My question is, would there have been labels on the air filter enclosures when the car left the factory or is it likely they have been put on by a previous owner?
Regards.

Cheers Dave,

I thought changing a wet cam belt was challenging but this was crazy - removing the gearbox, clutch and flywheel, madness.
And he enjoyed doing it all!

I've gone to W11 but bought a refurbed PC from Morgan computers. Win 11, 512gig SSD, hex core I7. I jumped from W7 to W11. It boots up in about 20 seconds and most of that is running the BIOS. It looks just like W7 with a few twiddly bits. Things I don't like is it constantly entices me to use cloud storage, or enroll to Word 365 and a few other things, so far I have succeeded in skirting round th...

£70 each though which does include interleafs but doesn't say where they're manufactured.

Yes Malc, I said in the previous thread that the clutch plate was in the right way round.

Jeremy, it's not so much whether I can use silicone with Goodridge hoses, rather that having used DOT 4 will I need to change them before using silicone? I think as they are PTFE lined they will be fine. At £30 each I don't want to change them if it's not necessary.

I have silicone brake fluid in all three of my cars: the most recent since 2004. I have Goodridge hoses on all three.

Have you put the clutch plate in the right way around ?

I didn't on one build and the clutch didn't work ?

Sorry for asking the dumb question, but you seem to have covered all the other bases

Think it's a question of you 'pays your money so makes your own choice'!
It used to be a straight 'No' when I was considering it but as I was renewing all the braking and clutch systems that didn't matter.
Now it seems permissible if you ensure a thorough flush to get rid of any contaminants and old hydroscopic fluid.
I have Goodridge stainless steel brake hoses and it's worked ok with th...

I am considering changing to silicone fluid. I already have Goodridge hoses fitted, and as these are PTFE lined will I still need to change them? The Goodridge site is not helpful.
