Re: Engine cannot rev when it is driving?
The screws were used to take out surface rust in my fuel tank. Put them in and shake the fuel tank. Now the car seems OK. I keep the rust in a metal jar now http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d84/thomas_hmlo/5486BAD9-382E-433D-AFAB-92BE1DA5DF9C.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d84/thomas_hmlo/00...

Re: Engine cannot rev when it is driving?
Checked the carb rubbings. They are OK. For the value, my mechanic guy replaced the value by exchange another valve from his ERA. The problem is not going away. I will check the valve tubing. That method is a good suggestion. I know there is a ECU in the dash, what is wired to the ECU? Also trying t...

Seller still has two sets now. I quoted locally for a driver side seat re trim. And quoted me over GBP450!! Plus N...
