Rick,
If I were you, and obviously I'm not, I would try cleaning it with your
"garden variety" carb cleaner. As for the parts supplement that I think
you're refering to, publication No.6601131, concering Rootes part #1229842 on
Plate ref. D111, don't take this as gospel. After all, the cover page
notes,"Commencing Chassis Number B9470001" and if you go section GF, the
transmission noted is a Toploader. Well I'm here to tell you, my Tiger came
with a T-10 and it's chassis # is B9470047. I don't know where these Ford and
Rootes engineers got their degrees in "Rocket Scientry", but the workshop
manual and parts publication certainly are not " the bible" when it comes to
Tigers. Exerience usually is. As for the oil filler cap on my car, it's
connected by a hose to the air cleaner. Brett
