Thanks. My primary concern was whether those are prone to leak. I'd rather not disturb them if they are tight. The staining on the bottoms is more likely coming from above, but hard to tell if stain/grunge on bottom covers came from above, or from the cover.
-
I have newish Spanish 40 DCOEs that were leaking, perhaps from the top covers or the venturies (another set of issues to explore). There is staining on the bottoms of the carbs and some fuel seems to be coming from above. The bottom cover plates seem pretty solid, and those use, I believe, rubber gaskets instead of fibre, so perhaps less prone to drying out like to top cover gaskets. Has anyone experienced leakage from the bottom covers? I tried to remove one but it was suck on tight, so I decided not to disturb it. But should I knock them off and use new gasket?

Can somebody confirm the torque settings for the three nuts that hold the down pipe to the manifold?
-
I can't find a torque spec for the three nuts holding the down pipe to the manifold. Anybody got that at hand?
-
Did they rebalance wheels?
-
My 2000CS owners manual says SAE 90 gearbox oil - same as steering box.
-
And don't forget the special rubber washer on the Driver side bolt.

Per Mr. IE, it doesn't sound like fuel starvation: if the float bowls are full (after idling for a minute), it should rev past 5000 at least for a few seconds. The rotor was a good suspect, but out of the picture now. Are you sure it is advancing fully? What I find curious is the 5000 rpm wall. Seems too high for main jet issue. On plug wires, I chased a misfire for weeks before deciding to replace what looked like perfectly good new-ish wires. New Bosch wires solved that problem. I seem to recall using the timing light to look at the firing pattern which showed the miss created by two of the carbon core wires. Adjusting max timing to IE recommendation also helped.
-
So just to review, things start to go bad over 5000 rpm? Consistently, or at random?
-
What is the timing set at?

Mongrel 1600 and the latest mystery (half shaft content)

As above, check the bolt holes in the flanges. If evenly spaced (or if they have 10 holes) you can just bolt in later CV shafts . Getting those boots over T end is a pig. -
Location is a matter of personal preference. I moved the one on my CS to rear fender. i like it there. Moved my Bav one to the back too in the day.
-
Just while i think of it, be careful when reattaching hood to hinges and adjusting the support brackets. If the hood is misaligned, it can snag edge of front cowl as it opens. Very tricky. Just go VERY slowly. The support bracket bolts on the fender tops affect the way it opens more than you might think.

Looking good!

I put two small speakers in the kick panels and two on the parcel shelf. To do again, i think i would put rears on lower rear seat bulkhead out of sight. Just dont cut the damn doors!
-
What on earth was going on in those seats??
-
I'd be interested in hearing your reaction.
-
I assume it is lighter than the original?
-
Thanks for posting picture. That looks like Upper, Inner , (Lower) Outer to me.
-
Me thinks you have the caliper sequence out of order: I recall Upper, inner, outer.
-
I assume this is single circuit?
-
I should have searched, but slim pickings. I'd be curious to hear from someone who used them.
-
Anybody have any experience with their pistons?
-
Anyone able to compare the newer factory square coupler with the old round one?
-
Single or dual circuit?
