Hi,

I don’t know a lot about engines. My old hr has a 179 in it. Was running a year or so ago, now I have gone to start it. Recharged battery, chucked in some fuel etc. will turn over and run for about 10 seconds then just stalls/chokes out. Any ideas? Try cleaning carby?
Cheers..... Haz

have had this problem for some time, decided to do some thing.I started by giving carby a good clean even the throat with 900wet using petrol as lubricant,make sure you take the main jet out as well as the metering jet which is above main jet(it just pushes out).Clean all parts,blow jets out with compressed air including all gally's (air holes in body of carby).

Hi.
I've read the post in the Holdenapeadia and am aware that the front windie glass is unique to HQ. My questions are: will HJ+ glass and mechanisms fit into a HQ door; and second, will HQ glass fit into HJ+ mechanism?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

It might be photoshopped, but I really hope it isn't.

You have to drive a car from that era to understand the torque they had, and the Blower Bentley was one of the greats.

Hope all who are near the fires stay safe, get out when told by authorities, be aware, Sunny Coast, and further north, to Cairns districts. Then NSW Vic etc etc inland and coastal areas under fires too.

" Mathematicians Solve '42' Problem With Planetary Supercomputer
MICHELLE STARR
9 SEP 2019

Mathematicians have finally figured out the three cubed numbers that add up to 42. This has settled a problem that has been pondered for 65 years"

was wondering if anyone may have had a similar problem? It's a Stromberg BXUV-2 on a 161 HR. Carby has been cleaned and had a basic kit put through inc new pump, float level, fuel pump and filter etc fine. Car starts and runs well, no problem with power or wide open throttle or idle. No missing. When cruising and slight throttle applied I feel a minor surge or hesitation. If I close the choke a little it goes away. So it's running a little lean on slight/partial throttle.

Okay due to the fact that my door and quarter glasses are scratched I have decided to replace them with new. I have spoke to a couple of guys in Queensland 2 different businesses one of them to tells me that the HQ two-door has 2 different door glasses is this true also is there anywhere else that I could buy them in New South Wales any help would be appreciated

Greetings all,
in the process of replacing drums, shoes and wheel cylinders on my WB ute( V8)
Ive taken pics so that I remember where everything goes but one thing I have noticed is that that there is no self adjustment on it.
This normal for WB?

Hi, I've got an annoying vibration in the driveline under load at around 60 kph. I have a celica 5 speed, tunnel has been made larger to accommodate box, had a centre bearing joint added to new tail shaft to try and eliminate the problem. Only thing I haven't checked is diff pinion angle. can anyone help giving advice to check and fix the angle if its out.
