Hi Greg, and welcome (belatedly) to Spitfire-dom! As Darrell said, if there is air in the lines you would have problems dis-engaging the clutch, but it would work fine while engaged. If the clutch is

Well, I can send up to 100g (3.5oz) to the USA by airmail for #2.16 ($3.80 or so). That should be more than enough for a CD. Magazines can be quite heavy, but it still sounds like your friend was rip

Hmm, I'm not sure about this, I haven't heard about it before but I guess it's theoretically possible. What you are suggesting is that there is increased pressure in the crankcase from blowby, then

I found it easiest to do the final tighening on the shiny chrome cone-shaped bit below the knob. There is a pair of flats at the top so you can get an open-ended spanner on it (don't remember the siz

I couldn't say for sure, but I seriously doubt it. The engine used in the TR4A wasn't just a different capacity, it was part of a totally different engine range to that used in the Spitfire. A TR4A

First off - with only one flasher relay (which was the case on my 1500, and from your description also seems to be the case for your Mk2), if one indicator works and the other doesn't then the flash

Most likely options are, I reckon: A) Speedo cable has come (partially) disconnected from the back of the speedo - it can be awkward to get it to attach properly, and get the little plastic tab in p

That hose would originally have been connected to a port on one of the SU carbs. Dirty air ventilated from the crankcase would join the air from the air filter and would be fed into the engine, so a

Take this response with a reasonable pinch of salt, 'cos it's a half-remembered something I read a while ago, but there is a good reason for heating the inlet manifold. It's something to do with the

Not only very dodgy writing, but not too well-informed on Spitfire carbs: As we all know, if a Spitfire has a Stromberg carb then it's only got one of them - he should have been dreaming of SUs. And

Yes, the small box on the back of the speedo is the voltage regulator. It should take the somewhat variable 11-15V you get at the battery, and output a steady 10V, so that the gauges always read the
