    Carburettor flooding. Help !!!

    Hi all. I have a really strange problem that I have not encountered before in nearly 40 years of working on motor vehicles. A month or so ago while driving her she coughed, spluttered and died at a road crossing. Fuel was spewing out of the top of the carburettor and the inlet manifold was awash...

    M880 canopy fasteners.

    Hi all. I know this has been covered before but does anyone know where I can obtain the fasteners that hold the canopy to the bedsides. Mine are all unservicable and the canopy flaps when at speed. Where do you get them ?

    I am considering buying an M151 Jeep. It has a hard top fitted. Needs recommissioning and paint. Is the hardtop removable to put it back to standard and what is it worth ? I bow to your superior knowledge.

    Armstrong Begone.....

    The box and pump came from a W300 airbase fire tender, 1977 vintage. It only had about 6000 miles on it. It had a big block engine in it so I had to make a bracket myself. It picks up two of the front timing case bolts both of which are into the water jacket and one on the cylinder head. It...

    15" wheels on M880 ?

    Well I plumped for the Ford wheels. They are all 16" in diameter. That is where the good news ends though. There are 4 wheel rims. One is 7" wide, one is 6" wide with a 1/2" offset and there are a pair of 6" rims with zero offset. Pretty stuffed now !!!
