Unless you are literally stranded on the road, do not use HELP! in your thread title.

You probably bought one of the ones I GAVE AWAY last year. Did you buy the one on CL? If so you need a lot more than a few parts! I dont have carb rebuild kits, only new carbs.

Do NOT use the choke! Did you get all the water out of the engine? I have to check how many I have, I still have a Stalwart. Yup, that was one of mine, I still have the import paperwork and Washington State Title.

I do have some Dowty jet drives and I think bevel boxes to drive them. Also a complete Stalwart with the quietest jet drives I've ever heard. I'll have to check my spares when I get home.

my son purchased a 1969 alvis stalwart with no engine. we plan to install a 6 cylinder diesel. when we went to load it the front two axles are locked. the rear axles had been removed. the imput shaft was sheared off. is this a common issue with these vehicles and any idea of the cause? its beginning to look like it may be headed to the scrapper.

Good luck with the Diesel install, be sure to covert the engine to dry sump so you can get the engine centerline low enough. It doesn't have axles but wheel stations with drive shafts. Unless abused they aren't prone to locking up or breaking. Looks like yours was abused or neglected.
