Bingo. You have too much gas coming into the carb for some reason.
Stuck (open) float valve is the most likely possibility, but there
are probably other valves on a Solex that could leak an inopportune
times.
At idle it will not run as it is being flooded. At wider throttle
positions, the excess gas as a percentage of the total gas is not as
bad (plus if it's a leaking float valve, you might actually be
consuming some of the gas that would otherwise be leaking over.)
But it's still too rich so you have no power. Adding choke makes it
*worse* meaning it was already too rich. Starting works because it
isn't pushing gas past the float valve (or wherever) in earnest until
the engine is running again.

Land Rover Seies >I, II and III have the mirror securely attached and without any kind of glues >.... try screws and bolts :-) Clayton, I can sympathize. Friday I was intending to take my Series III up to the Joe Lucas Mendo Not a Rallye when I found that I'd lost a bolt on the right door hinge and then the interior rear-view broke off. Ed is mistaken I'm afraid. No it didn't fall off the windshield. The shaft (looks like painted pot metal) just broke out of the little plate that screws into the head-liner over the windscreen. Neat. Just fatigue I guess. On my Series IIa I had a similar problem but the mirror itself broke when it fell off. So I went to the local Ford dealer cause I liked the mirrors I'd seen in an F250 pickup. Cost $29 (19 years ago) and used a cyno-acrylic (like super glue) to attach it to the wind screen center frame. Worked very well. I may try something like that again. I read somewhere that most epoxy formulas will eventually be broken down by exposure to ultra-violet; probably not a good choice for this application. I think you might want to try cleaning all the 'sticky' stuff off to get a clean hard surface and then use some cyno-acrylic stuff to reattach it. Good luck, Gerry *** Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. ************************************************************** _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ Gerry Mugele (Mugeleg@wellsfargo.com) _/ _/ Glen Ellen, California (415) 477-3952 _/ _/ "Gooey" '72 SIII 88 _/ _/ "Peat" '95 D90 SW (364/500) _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ************************************************************** ------------------------------[ <- Message 14 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960502 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Subject: Quiet day on the list...
WHATS going on, is everybody just feeling quiet today? Or are we all
actually busy working? I'm dying to get to work on the Green Car but
I've decided to hold off until I find a place to live. That means
probably this weekend or early next week. I'd like to have a rolling
chassis by the end of May. This of course does not include rebuilding
the gearbox, which I have decided to attempt. I finally got a hold of
the chap who is going to repair my bulkhead, so that makes me feel a
little less apprehensive. I hope this isn't the only message that
comes over today, its boring enough around here without having to read
my own drivel...
Oh yes, a sighting. Finally saw the SIIa pickup that I saw once in
Arlington VA. Its a SWB, with 9.00x16 tires and pick up cab, with an
18-wheeler style "air(?)" horn attached to the front left wing. The
bulkhead and breakfast, as well as springs and exposed chassis parts
were encrusted with rust. They still felt fairly solid, just surface
pitted due to lack of paint. looked like it'd spent some time in a
very suny climate. The truck sat nicely and the springs and chassis
looked good ansd solid. Door tops and footwells were toast. Very cute,
checked under the hood and found spiderwebs around most of the
components and NO coolant in the radiator. Sidelights were gone, and
the bumper was held on by two bolts that were just sitting in the
holes. Color was VERY faded blue, almost white, with 1966 Virginia
tags. Probably be a good restoration project for somebody that has a
bulkhead and alot of patience. Or a good beater, if it runs...I almost
left a note...
