Hello do you remember the trouble I was having with my 740
well I've sorted it but it was my own mistake as I wanted a new gasket for my carb and told had to wait so I used instant gasket.
but the one I used had written on the side for all engine parts except fuel.
So the petrol was dissolving the gasket and blocking up the jets

Hi,

Almost: READ the Haynes manual but beware - there is a grain of truth in it, surrounded by a lot of material that applies only to the car that they dismantled.
