Subject: vacuum advance, windscreen washer button, brake servo
After working with carbs and ignition I stumbled accross the vacuum side, with three questions:
the vacuum advance of the ignition was not attached, from what I heard it was never used on the DB3ltr, is this correct?
the manual says the metallic button with the arrow in the image is the windscreen washer button. How did this work? on the back it is connected with a rubber hose to the carburettor manifold hence has vacuum, a second hose is attached to the same strange button/switch. My car has a standard electrical windscreen washer system so the mentioned system seems out of order. How did it work?
vacuum brake servo: who has experience with it, mine seems to be stuck after 3 years out of use. I checked sucking from the inlet manifold side and I think it has no leak. Bang on the servo cylinder carefully to free it?
