Hi Jason, I don't know about the rubber ring on crankshaft pulley. Are you sure you want to switch to silicone? I did, 20 years ago, into my TD, but it seemed at the time to have a number of real adv

Thanks for the suggestion to file slightly the flare. I will try that with the new hoses. After I sent the inquiry to the list, I telephoned Moss to ask about this. The service rep, whose name I did

Might it be the pump roller that is hanging up on the cam of the output shaft? BTW, double check that pump. There is a slight offset of the roller, and it must be installed right-way-round else it j

Strange to say, a switch can be either top-on or bottom-on. The visible rocker can be reversed so that the invisible inner workings are moving as you prefer. I puzzled over that question for some ti

Your chances of removing the fabric fron the header rail depend on the adhesion of the glue holding the fabric to the rail. Who knows what glue was used? You could slide your finger between fabric a

Probably a leaking diaphram, if it's leaking from the dome at the end where the wire connects. Replace it, since sealing the cap will only retain gasoline in and around the points that activate the
