Good on both of you.
Yesterday was an interesting day for me. Went out as passenger with a frie=
nd in his TF, stored a year or so. It ran out of go at 2500 rpm, sputtering=
, bucking, etc, but would smooth out at 2000. =20
Back at the garage, found the strangest stuff in the float chambers. One h=
ad a teaspoon of large chunks of solid material. The other had some of that,=
plus a goo that looked like frog-egg liquid. =20
The goo was easy enough to figure out, but as the chunks are far larger th=
an would pass through the SU carb banjo filters, the SU pump filter, the add=
itional filter he has in line, and the original screen filter in the tank, i=
t was a puzzle. We could check banjo, pump and additional filter-none had a=
ny grit or sediment.=20
Pump delivers the pint/minute quantity that workshop manual says.
Engine runs better, but not much. I suspect that some of the sediment is i=
n the passage from float chamber to the jet, but we ran out of day yesterday=
.
