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 • Re: Starting ProblemsIt still sounds like a fuel supply issue to me, especially if the float bowl wasn’t full. I’d check whether the pump is consistently delivering fuel to the carb and make sure there isn’t any blockage further up the line.For the SU carb, screwing the jet adjusting nut up (clockwise/in) weakens the mixture, while down […]Riley

- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Starting ProblemsOK, the problem seems to have solved itself after establishing that it was lack of fuel feed from the tank as the car started and ran OK with the float bowl filled, but the fuel pump was still dry.So having worked back to where the rubber fuel pipe connected to the metal feed line, I […]AFPU
- 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

- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: 1937 Rover 12 Sports Saloon Sliding Sunroof RemovalThe photos help a lot, much appreciated.The fixing holes on my car are on the front edge and on the sides.
