Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Hi,

Can anyone offer words of wisdom on setting up Weber 40 IDS3CI carburettors?

I've stripped, cleaned and replaced the jets and screws. I want to know how to set them up for engine start and then the procedure for fine tuning.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

I thought about changing the shift coupler on my car. It doesn't seem obvious how you get the old one apart. Do you have to press out the pin that passes through the middle of the bushes??

This might sound like a daft question but.......... I've got new oil pipes for my '68 911. The long oil return pipe (pump back to oil tank) is flexible and I'm not sure how to route it. Should it go over or under the transmission and how do you make sure it doesn't interfere with the heat exchanger?...

Hi,

Can anyone suggest the best place to get replacement pre '68 lenses.

Hi, Thanks for all the info, very interesting. It looks like I should do something to mitigate future ignition problems. I have a lumenition kit which I took off a previous car. Does anyone know whether these provide any improvement to an early Porsche at starting and high revs? The lumenition can b...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. My car's currently got a standard ballast resistor ignition i.e. ballast resistor, coil and contact breaker - no transistorised ignition unit. It's close to completion after a long restoration so I don't know what the common problems are? What does the MSD ignition unit do?...

Can anyone recommend best plugs for a 2.0ltr 'S' spec motor. Is there much to choose between Champion, Bosch, NGK...?

Hi, I'm pleased you've sorted it. The main beam probably didn't work at all becasue it draws more current than low beam. The poor earth stud connection would create circuit resistance that dropped volts when current flowed (V=IxR). The high main beam current would create so much volt drop across the...

Hi, If the fusing is anything like my '68 car there will be individual fuses (4 off) for right low beam, left low beam, right high beam and left high beam. However, given that your problem is common to one side it doesn't sound like a supply side problem. I agree with the other replies that a poor e...
