Subject: Re: 2L clutch
I am still struggling with another problem and hope that anyone out there may have an answer. The downdraught SU carburetters on my 2L engine "spit back" quite a bit of petrol (in very tiny droplets)through the air inlets when the engine is running, especially when the car accelerates. This creates a highly explosive atmosphere under the bonnet and a nasty petrol smell. As I am currently rebuilding the engine I would like to solve that problem - only I haven't a clue what causes it. The car ran very well in spite of this and the valve overlap was 15 degrees. Ideas anyone?
