Re: Knocking noise

Hi all,

I have this exact issue with my 2WD. Around roundabouts, if you put your foot on the clutch the noise will stop. Strange, I would love to sort this issue.

I have checked all of the above, anymore thoughts??

Many Thanks

The problem is definitely with the first choke, it picks up and pulls fine on the second choke.. Do you guys agree that this is a fueling issue?? If so, could the carburetor be past its best,?? W...

Re: No fuel gauge!

Hey Guys, any update on this as my Fuel Gauge has also stopped working.. I will do a couple of checks and let you know my findings.. Do you need to remove the Fuel Tank to replace the sender unit??
