Very impressed with that, i want one. Harvey S. Maitland

From my old Autodata manual %co at an idle of 750-800rpm is 2.5 to 3.5, as a comparison the TR7 is 2.0-4.5. Harvey S. Maitland

From my aged failing memory when i first met Paul many years ago, some of his students noticed the resemblance to a certain tv character ( Catweazle), his friends abbreviated this to Cat & the name seems to have stuck over the years. Harvey S. Maitland

You can remove the metering unit with distributor whilst still leaving the injectors in the throttle bodies ( it is a bit fiddly ) undo the 4 screws to remove the control unit to access the diaphragm for removal ( the centres require pressing into the new diaphragm ). Take care to set ignition & fuel timing as in the instruction manual when reassembling. Harvey S. Maitland

Usual cause is a perforated fuel diaphragm seal , readily available from usual suppliers. Requires removing metering unit to replace & may require datum track re-setting. Harvey S. Maitland

Went out in the TR6 today for a short run to the local garden centre. Came out to restart ( nothing incl. not any lights ). checked battery terminals o.k. all lights suddenly came on & car started. Drove back to the garage, no power again. Checked positive lead to starter solenoid o.k. checked connection at solenoid no power to main loom. Disconnected connections at solenoid ( all slightly corroded ) cleaned them all up & full electrical power restored. Hope this may be of some help to anyone out there that experiences a similar failure.

Common fault crank sensor, should be cheaper than a code reader. Harvey S. Maitland

On my 6 I have had a link on the timing chain come loose and catching the timing cover on rotation, sounded very much like your noise.

Just had a search in my stores & found the tool in question. The rod I used was an old push rod with last inch bent at approx. 30", have used it on MGBs should work o.k. on TR heads. Harvey S. Maitland
-
It is possible using an old plug with the centre cut out & a rod inserted with the end bent over enough to lock behind a valve & then pulled back holding the valve head shut & then clamped in position to remove the valve spring without removing the head. I have a home made tool somewhere in my toolbox that that has helped me at race meetings in the past to replace broken valve springs. Harvey S. Maitland

Just had a message from the North Wales group that at present the Gold Cup is still on in August subject to Government guide lines (fingers crossed ) Harvey S. Maitland
