1 General information and
precautions
General information
The fuel system consists of a fuel tank
mounted under the rear of the vehicle, a
mechanical fuel pump and a carburettor. The
fuel pump is operated by an eccentric on the
camshaft and is mounted on the rear of the
cylinder head. The air cleaner contains a
disposable paper filter element and
incorporates a flap valve air temperature
control system which allows cold air from the
outside of the vehicle and warm air from
around the exhaust manifold to...

4To remove the metal intake duct,
disconnect the vacuum pipe from the air
temperature control valve and slacken the
intake hose retaining clamp (see illustration).
Undo the fastener securing the duct to its
mounting bracket and remove the metal duct,
taking care not to lose the hot air intake
connector hose which connects the duct to
the exhaust manifold shroud.
5To remove the air intake hose, it will first be
necessary to remove the left-hand headlamp
assembly so as to gain access to the two
retaining...

13The air temperature control valve can be
renewed only with the complete intake duct
assembly. If a new intake duct assembly is
being fitted, undo the four screws securing
the hot air intake adaptor plate to the bottom
of the duct and transfer the adaptor plate to
the new duct.
14Refitting is the reverse of the removal
procedure.

Testing
1To test the fuel pump on the engine,
temporarily disconnect the outlet...

gain access to the fuel tank feed and return
pipes (see illustration).
4Using a suitable pair of pliers, release the
retaining clip and disconnect the small section
of return pipe hose from the fuel tank (see
illustration).
5Slacken the fuel feed pipe union nut and
disconnect the pipe from the union. Undo the
two union mounting bolts and free the union
from the body (see illustration).
6Disconnect the fuel tank wiring block
connector from the main wiring harness. If the
block connector cannot yet be...

2Release the accelerator cable from the
upper end of the pedal and, using a pair of
pliers, unhook the accelerator pedal return
spring.
3Prise off the circlip from the pedal pivot and
withdraw the accelerator pedal from the
mounting bracket.
Refitting
4Refitting is a reverse of the removal
procedure. Apply a smear of multi-purpose
grease to the pedal pivot. On completion,
adjust the accelerator cable.

Removal
1Working from inside the vehicle, undo the...

port with a wad of clean cloth to prevent the
possible entry of foreign matter.
Refitting
9Refitting is the reverse of the removal
procedure, noting the following:
a) Ensure the carburettor and inlet manifold
sealing faces are clean and flat. Fit a new
gasket and tighten the carburettor
retaining screws to the specified torque.
b) Use the notes made on dismantling to
ensure all hoses are refitted to their
original positions and, where necessary,
are securely held by their retaining clips.
c) Adjust the...

possible to purchase a reconditioned
carburettor of the relevant type.
6If it is decided to go ahead and service a
carburettor, check the cost and availability of
spare parts before commencement. Obtain a
carburettor repair kit, which will contain the
necessary gaskets, diaphragms and other
renewable items.
7When working on carburettors, scrupulous
cleanliness must be observed and care must
be taken not to introduce any foreign matter
into components. Carburettors are delicate
instruments and care should...

Inspect the heater rubber seal for signs of
damage or deterioration and renew if
necessary.
Refitting
8Refitting is the reverse of the removal
procedure. Ensure that the heater locating
projection is correctly engaged in the manifold
recess. On completion, lower the vehicle to
the ground and refill the cooling system.
Pre-heater temperature switch
Removal
9The pre-heater temperature switch is fitted
to the underside of the inlet manifold (see
illustration). Either drain the cooling system
or be prepared...

head mating surfaces are clean and dry,
then fit a new manifold gasket.
b) Working  in the sequence shown, tighten
the manifold retaining nuts and bolts
evenly to the specified torque wrench
setting.
c) Ensure all relevant hoses are reconnected
to their original positions and are securely
held (where necessary) by their retaining
clips.
d) Renew the vacuum servo unit vacuum
hose banjo union sealing washers and
tighten the union bolt.
e) Adjust the accelerator and choke cables.
f) On completion, refill...
