Date: 19 Oct 96 09:25:25 EDT From: William S Kowalski <70252.1204@CompuServe.COM> Subject: Carburettor stuff Seems like a lot of threads going through the digest on the Zenith carburettor and I'm equally interested and confused when the Zenith on my 109 decides to "act up." So, I have some observations. 1. I've found the "O" ring seal between the body and emulsion block to be attack by whatever may be in the cheap(?) fuel I may buy when away from my regular home station. The damn thing will swell up like an excited teenager and then cause a rich running condition. Replacing the "O" ring will solve the problem. You might think the bigger "O" ring would seal better, but doesn't. And, why do they call it an emulsion block????? 2. I understand the so called reformulated gasoline actually contains an additive called MTBE, (Methyl Teriary Butyl Ether) and it's the ether that is causing the problem with the rubber seals etc. Mayube someone with more organic chemistry knowledge or Zenith experience than me can shed some light on my observation. What kind of rubber would not be affected??? 3. If the side screw adjustment is sometimes called the "mixture control" why do the workshop manuals refer to it as "volume control screw?" I guess with a little imagination the two labels can mean the same. Once the Zenith mysteries are solved, we can get onto fixing the obvious LR problems!

From: "David Booth" <dbooth@innotts.co.uk> Subject: Servo Brakes Date: Sat, 19 Oct 1996 15:09:29 +0100 After messing around with the brakes for a few days and getting nowhere, I had a chat with a mechanic at a LR garage. He told me that the reason my breaks were so heavy to press, is that there is no vacuum on the servo, so I had a look. Let me say at this point that the vehicle in question is a diesel. After tracing the pipes back to the inlet manifold I noticed that where the vacuum hose attaches there is a strange cast piece(no idea what its called?). After anothe little chat with that mechanic, I found out that this is supposed to have a flap(simular to a carb) in it which is operated by the accelerator! Not in there? It seems that when the previous owner did the engine swap from petrol to diesel, he found there was no linkage from the accelerator to this `flap`, so he just took it out and put in a bolt! I have now found out that these things are like gold dust and I can`t get one. So what I have decided to do is the make one as I have access to engineering equipment. So what I need are either drawings or some dimensions of the flap(It is not in my haynes manual) or any other advise you have to offer.

Subject: Click and Clack
This morning on NPR, Click and Clack got a call from a fellow who had been
riding in Africa with a driver and mechanic in what he described as a Land
Rover. There was a mixture problem, so they took the hood (bonnet) off and
the mechanic rode on the engine with his hand over the top of the carb.
Two questions:
1. Why didn't they use duct tape instead of the mechanic's hand to cover
the carburetor?
2. If there was no duct tape in the car toolkit, was it really a Land Rover?

Dave VE4PN They use this system on the LEXUS futhechrissakes! You surely don't want your ROVER to sound like a LEXUS, do you?

Yes it probably was-who says it coyuldn't have been a Land Rover, just because it doesn't fit you idea of what should be carried in the vehicle. In Africa Land Rovers are vehicles and simpy that.

According to Rene Pray, LRNA rep for the western US, the 2500 D90 to
be shipped in 2 batches to the US in 1997 and 1998 are here courtesy
of a 'bonus' that LRNA received from the US Dept of Trans. Because
LRNA previously produced Discos for the US market with airbags when
in fact they were not then required by DOT, LRNA received a 'credit'
to produce 2500 substandard vehicles.
(Nice to know you can still pay more to get less :)
Don't fret, the life you loose in D90 was someone elses life saved in
a Disco!

From: GElam30092@aol.com Date: Sat, 19 Oct 1996 15:59:34 -0400 Subject: Brakes: '64 88" w/ 109" front brakes Started looking at the front brakes on the 88" this morning. It's kind of obvious that new brake shoes are needed. Interesting enough: the brakes on the front were replaced at some point with 109" brakes. On one side though, I wasn't able to adjust the brakes. Took the wheel off and removed the drum. The cam adjuster is not turning when you turn the bolt on the back. I can get it to turn with a little assistance from the front. Question: Is that cam piece replaceable or will this require a new/replacement brake anchor plate? Thanks..
