RSR Forum posts- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Starting ProblemsI would leave the carburettor jet adjustment nut alone, this is not the cause of your starting problems.

- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Starting ProblemsOn a recent trip out our 1937 Rover 12 Sports Saloon played up a little on the way back, coughing and spluttering and down on power, so we had to stop a few times to try and diagnose the problem, but to no avail. However, she did eventually clear herself and we made it back […]AFPU
