got a bit of a leak on the carb so thought id have a look but couldn't see anything for the amount of muck thats built up
so out with the degreaser and steam cleaner (hand held)
Gunk was useless but Mr Muscle oven cleaner is brilliant :D

still cant figure out where the smell of petrols coming from though???

Had a look at the carb because I found that when I pressed the accelerator the car would hold back and then accelerate, then found out that the vacuum units between the dizzy and the carb are aged (cracked), so ordered some new ones so hopefully will fix the problem.

Haven't driven her today, but yesterday, installed a new alloy radiator on the side of the road, as she crapped out on me 5 minutes from my house. Thanks to my little lady for dropping some tools and the new radiator off to me.
