Restoring steering wheel

[MatthewL]

How Many Left reckon there are 4 SORN and none on the road. I remember they looked really good. Ford did an Escort Eclipse around the same time. My pal bought one and let me drive it - 1300CVH in a similar cherry red. I was driving my mums MG Montego EFI at the time. I was horrified by how weedy the...

A sticking float is something I’d not thought...

Thanks Jeff. My pal and I ran the engine previously with the cut off switch removed and it made no odds. I think we’d have left it off long enough to empty the float chamber but I can’t recall. I may need to look again. Certainly the car runs for 10+ minutes with it in its current switch...
