With the body off, you should be able to slide the springs off the pins (if the pins aren't rusted into there as well). I can't see any reason the body has to come entirely off, but at the same time

However, it turns out that the original switch can be disassembled, and reassembled upside down so that the orientation changes. Mine was in the opposite orientation when I got the car, and I've bee

Not sure what happened here, but the Dzus fasteners that Fred is talking about are not dome head but a slotted thin pan head, have a neck about 1" long, and are chrome plated. On the TR2/3/3A to abou

Ok, my apologies. They are what Dzus calls an oval head. TR3s have several other Dzus fasteners, which have what I would call a dome head, with a square drive hole in the center, apparently no longe

Yup, that's usually all that's needed. Check the bottom of the float chamber for more crud, and clean it too if necessary. If you find crud there as well, you might want to consider where it's comin

Chris, you've pretty clearly got multiple problems here. Get the Haynes, also a cheap DVM and some clip leads. Pick one thing that doesn't work, and start chasing down why. According to my Haynes th

Scott, my take is that your 'stalactite' is the actual pushrod; and that the solenoid got hot enough to melt it. All it takes is a piece of grit from the road finding it's way in there, which might

I haven't noticed all that many in common with the TR6, except some of the tranny parts. Lots of engine parts are shared with the TR7 tho. Best I've found so far is to get the Stag SPC (factory Spar

Note that "bad" is a relative term, in this location I'd say anything you can catch a fingernail in is "bad". And, I've seen some leak where you could only see the wear mark, not feel it even with a

Scott, before you go to any great lengths, might I suggest you try getting some good masking tape (the blue stuff, 1/2" wide) and try just following the outside of the wheel with it ? I think you'll

A "stuck" float valve is almost never really stuck, instead what happens is that a piece of crud gets caught between the needle/ball and it's seat. Since the chamber is overfull, the float keeps pre

Are you sure that was a TR3, rather than a TR2 ? The TR2 did get noticeably better gas mileage, apparently mostly due to it's smaller carbs. Don't forget, those are Imperial gallons, which are 20% l

My 1965 Lucas catalog still shows the rubber pushbutton solenoid similar to the one used on TR2/3; but the design had some minor changes over the years. Around 1961, the housing went from die-cast t

Problem is, it (deliberately) screws up the mixture. On cars that were already tuned lean (eg anything sold in the US after about 1968), they can be pushed "over the edge" and become so lean they do
