Re: Series 3 SNGB Ignition Conversion
Hi Marek and Phillip Many thanks for your helpful responses. I contacted SNG Barratt and early last week I sent them my ballast resistor (BR) for testing. Their technical guy, Brian, spoke with me and advised that: a) the BR as supplied with their Ignition Conversion Kit is totally different to that...

Re: SNG Ignition System problems
Hi - I had what seems to be a similar problem. First trial: Connect a cable between the positive of the battery and the positive terminal of the ignition coil. If the engine starts and runs OK then the problem lies with the ignition system between the ignition switch and the coil. I had purchased a ...

Re: Radiator Grille
Hi - I just checked on the SNGB UK website. The clips referred to are listed as: Stainless Steel Grille Moulding Clip BD39095. After fitting these clips I found that the rivets are not really necessary to fit as the bumper overriders hold the moulding well in position at the corners and sides (or as...

I was very interested in this dialogue. Both of my S3 floor pans have been replaced over time; one by a PO and one under my ownership. The replacements did not have any of the material mentioned.

Re: Setting up Strombergs
Hi Pete - just to check that you set the air-fuel mixture when you adjusted the carbs? If the mix is not correct it could be (??) that when she comes off choke the mix is causing the fast idle and no adjustment on the throttle idle screws? Did you manage to find the Jagwit article on setting up Stro...

Re: Setting up Strombergs Series 3
Hi Pete - your problem is by no means unique and I would strongly suggest that you trawl the forum for ignition and carb set up posts of which there are many. You'll soon work out which of the members' posts are the most reliable. First thought is to check whether the choke cable (inner & outer) on ...

Re: Stromberg carb leaking fuel past threads of needle valve
Given that the top of the float requires adjustment (tab bending) to be at a specified height above the body of the carb, would the float also need readjusting to that height after fitting the washer etc?
