Carb Balancing

I want to check and adjust the Carb Balancing on my 1990se. Dellorto DHLA 45M As I have noticed that since the MOT last week, the CO and HC figures have risen some since the one last year. Also the Exhaust looks very Sooted up and I seem to be using a lot of Petrol now. The figures for last year 202...

Re: Gearbox Fluid

Hi, passed the MOT no problem. took the Gear Lever out today. All looks fine.
So now going to replace the Oil in the Gearbox.
Have ordered 5lts of Comma SX75W-90 (GL5) Oil to change it.
I think it only takes 2.5lts but 5lts was cheaper than 3lts.

Gearbox Fluid

I am finding on my 1990se Excel it is not smooth when I select all the Forward Gears and harder for Reverse. Non actually Crunch so the Clutch must be Disengaging. I recently replaced both the Master Cylinder and the Slave. So I know the System has had New Fluid and been Bleed properly. I was wonder...

Re: Clutch master cylinder removal

Thanks for that Marten.
That picture shows as if there is lots of room around the Master Cylinder for access. But on my 1990 SE as said
the Fuse & Relay Board is in the way, of seeing it & getting to it.

Re: Clutch master cylinder removal

Oh thanks Marten. I thought you had to get into some funny position inside, that's why I took the Seat out. Didn't think you could reach just by sitting on the floor outside. Tried taking some photos but the Fuse & Relay Board kept getting in the way. Even wedged the Pedal down, but still couldn't s...

Re: Clutch master cylinder removal

I have removed the Slave Cylinder & Hose, very easy job to do with the Car on Axle Stands. My problem is still trying to get the Master Cylinder out. I can't see it let alone remove the Clip & Pin, & then the Retaining Nuts. I have even taken out the Seat, to give more room & the Fuse Cover also the...

Re: Clutch master cylinder removal

The last thing I want to do is remove the Dash.
Am I looking in the wrong place is it outside of the Pedal Box, on the Righthand side?
