Reply To: Is it still a project when I haven’t done anything yet

Thanks for the advice- Bernie, the carb has been professionally rebuilt with a new kit from Jose Franssen. I learned a while back to not mess with carbs much after I screwed one up and made the car run worse. I may take out the jets one at a time and check them. The car does have the long cylinder air filter and has the felt element and I will try to replace it, it’s pretty greasy. Maybe a double layer of a furnace filter might do it. I really don’t want to install an aftermarket filter like a K & N. Davy- regarding John Gillard, yes, he has an amazing amount of knowledge of Tractions and unlike a lot of people I know is very willing to share his know-how. I have been coming to London to work for him twice a year (April and September) for about 6 years now but since he is moving out of London, that will be coming to an end I am sure. Paul- I like your oil filter set-up- one thing about using the toilet paper filter unit, it can get messy changing out the element. With those, however there is no effect on oil pressure as there is an orifice on the entry side.
