maintenance

1The cooling system consists of a
front-mounted radiator with built-in expansion
tank, a coolant pump (belt-driven from the
crankshaft pulley) and a thermostatically-
controlled electric cooling fan.
2In order to assist rapid warm-up, athermostat is located in a housing at the
left-hand end of the cylinder head. The hose
connections to the thermostat housing vary
according to model.
3The heater is supplied with coolant from the
engine and incorporates a matrix and blower
with the necessary controls.
4The throttle valve plate block of the
carburettor is coolant-heated as a means of
improving fuel atomisation.
5Maintenance is minimal as in theory no
coolant should ever be lost from theexpansion tank. Regularly check that the
coolant level is between 50.0 and 70.0 mm
(1.97 and 2.8 in) above the MIN mark on the
tank with the engine cold. The need for
regular topping up will indicate a leak
somewhere in the system. If one cannot be
found suspect an internal leak in the engine
although this is usually confirmed by a rise in
the engine oil level and water on the dipstick
(photo). Any topping-up should be done using
an antifreeze mixture (see Section 3), not plain
water.

1 Description and
maintenance
1
1The fuel system consists of a rear-mounted
fuel tank, a mechanically-operated fuel pump
and a carburettor and air cleaner.
2On all engines except the 1301 cc a single
venturi downdraught carburettor is fitted. On
the 1301 cc version, a dual barrel carburettor
is fitted.
3Maintenance consists of periodically
checking the condition and security of the fuel
hoses to the pump and carburettor. The fuel
pump cannot be cleaned or repaired and in
the event of a fault developing, the pump
must be renewed.
4On ES versions, an electronic fuel cut-out
device is fitted which reduces fuel
consumption on overrun, see Chapter 9,
Section 33.
2 Air cleaner- servicing,
removal and refitting
1
1The air cleaner air intake draws air either
from the front of the car or from the outside of
the exhaust manifold according to ambient
temperature (photo).
2At an ambient temperature of 13ºC (55ºF)
and above, the SUN symbol should align with
the intake spout arrow head. Remove the
cover nuts and turn the cover.
3At an ambient temperature lower than this,
move the air cleaner cover until the
SNOWFLAKE symbol aligns with the intake
spout arrow head.
4At the intervals specified in “Routine
Maintenance” renew the air cleaner filter
element.
5To do this, remove the cover nuts and take
off the cover (photo).6Take out the filter element and discard it.
Wipe out the air cleaner casing (photo).
7Locate the new element and refit the cover
aligning the appropriate symbols.903 cc engine
8To remove the air cleaner from the 903 cc
engine, unscrew the nuts and take off the
cover. Lift out the filter element.
9Unbolt the air cleaner casing from the
carburettor flange and from the bracket on the
rocker cover. Disconnect the vent hose
(photo).
10Disconnect the warm and cool air intake
hoses from their collecting points and lift the
air cleaner from the engine.
1116 cc and 1301 cc engines
11Removing the air cleaner from the 1116 cc
engine is similar to that described for the
903 cc engine, but having a cylinder head
support bracket (photos).
2.6 Removing air cleaner element
2.5 Air cleaner cover2.1 Air cleaner hot air intake

12The air cleaner on the 1301 cc engine is
mounted on the four flange studs of the
carburettors, their nuts being accessible after
the air cleaner lid has been removed and the
filter element extracted.
13Refitting of all types of air cleaner is a
reversal of removal.
3 Fuel pump-
removal and refitting
2
1On 903 cc engines, the fuel pump is
mounted on the side of the timing chain cover
and is driven by a pushrod from an eccentric
on the front of the camshaft.
2On the 1116 cc and 1301 cc engines, the
fuel pump is mounted on the side of the
crankcase and is driven by a pushrod from an
eccentric on the auxiliary shaft.
3The removal of both types of pump is
carried out in a similar way.
4Disconnect the fuel inlet hose from the
pump and plug the hose (photo).
5Disconnect the fuel outlet hose from the
pump.
6Unscrew the pump fixing bolt and remove it
together with spacer, pushrod and gaskets
(photos).
7Refitting is a reversal of removal. Make sure
that a new gasket is located on each side of
the spacer.
8The gasket on the inboard side of thespacer should always be 0.3 mm thick, but
gaskets for the outboard side are available in
thicknesses 0.3, 0.7 and 1.2 mm, as a means
of adjusting the fuel pump pressure. The
standard fuel pressure is 0.176 bar
(2.55 lbf/in
2). If the pressure is too high a
thicker gasket should be used, if too low, fit a
thinner one.
4 Fuel level transmitter-
removal and refitting
1
1The transmitter is accessible after having
removed the small cover panel from the floor
of the car under the rear seat (tipped forward)
with the floor covering peeled back (photo).
2Disconnect the fuel flow and return hoses
and the electrical leads from the transmitter.
3Unscrew the securing ring and lift the
transmitter from the tank.
4Refitting is a reversal of removal. Use a new
rubber sealing ring.
5 Fuel tank-
removal and refitting
1
1It is preferable to remove the fuel tank when
it has only a very small quantity of fuel in it. Ifthis cannot be arranged, syphon out as much
fuel as possible into a suitable container
which can be sealed.
2The tank is mounted just forward of the rear
axle.
3Disconnect the filler hose and the breather
hose from the tank (photo).
4Unscrew the mounting bolts from the
support straps and lower the tank using a jack
with a block of wood as an insulator. Release
the handbrake cable from its support bracket
on the side of the tank (photo).
5Once the tank has been lowered sufficiently
far, disconnect the fuel supply and return
hoses, breather hose and sender unit leads
and remove the tank from the car.
Warning: Never attempt to
solder or weld a fuel tank
yourself; always leave fuel tank
repairs to the experts. Never
syphon fuel into a container in an
inspection pit. Fuel vapour is heavier than
air and can remain in the pit for a
considerable time.
6If the tank contains sediment or water,
clean it out by using several changes of
paraffin and shaking vigorously. In order to
avoid damage to the sender unit, remove this
before commencing operations.
7Finally allow to drain and rinse out with
clean fuel.
8Refit by reversing the removal operations.
9On 1984 and later models, the fuel tank is
of plastic construction.

6 Carburettors- general
1The need to completely overhaul a
carburettor is rare. A carburettor can normally
be kept in good working order if the top cover
is removed and the fuel mopped out of the
fuel bowl. Individual jets can be removed and
blown through. Never probe them with wire or
their calibration will be ruined.
2Take the opportunity to check the jet sizes
and other components against those listed in
the Specifications in case a previous owner
has substituted some of incorrect calibration.
3When the stage is reached where the valve
plate spindle bushes have worn, then the
carburettor should be renewed complete.
4When reassembling the carburettor, use
new gaskets which can be obtained in a repair
pack.

7 Carburettor idle speed and
mixture- adjustment
4
1All carburettors have their mixture
adjustment set in production. The screw is
fitted with a tamperproof cap.
2Under normal circumstances, only the idle
speed screw need be adjusted to set the
engine idle speed to the specified level.
3Before attempting to adjust the idle speed
or mixture, it is important to have the ignition
and valve clearances correctly set and the
engine at normal operating temperature with
the air cleaner fitted.
4Where the mixture must be adjusted, prise
out the tamperproof plug and turn the mixture
screw in to weaken or out to enrich the
mixture until the engine runs smoothly without
any tendency to “hunt”.
5Ideally an exhaust gas analyser should be
used to make sure that the CO level is within
the specified range.
6Once the mixture has been correctly set,
re-adjust the idle speed screw.
8 Carburettor-
removal and refitting
2
1Remove the air cleaner.
2Disconnect the flow and return fuel hoses
from the carburettor and plug them.3Disconnect the coolant hoses from the
carburettor throttle valve plate block.
Provided the cooling system is cold and not
under pressure there should be almost no loss
of coolant. Tie the hoses up as high as
possible with a piece of wire.
4Disconnect the vacuum and vent hoses
from the carburettor.
5Disconnect the throttle and choke controls
from the carburettor.
6Unscrew the mounting flange nuts and lift
the carburettor from the intake manifold
(photo).
7Refitting is a reversal of removal. Use a new
flange gasket and make sure that the fuel
return hose is routed above the air cleaner
intake.

(Weber 32 ICEV 50/250/1)-
servicing and adjustment
4
1The carburettor top cover with float may be
removed without the need to withdraw the
carburettor from the manifold. The other
adjustments described will require removal of
the carburettor.
2Unscrew the filter plug from the top cover,
clean the filter screen and refit it.
3Extract the top cover fixing screws, lift the
cover and tilt it to unhook it from the
diaphragm capsule link rod.
4Access to the fuel inlet needle valve isobtained by carefully tapping out the float arm
pivot pin. Take care, the pivot pin pillars are
very brittle.
5Check that the needle valve body is tight
otherwise fuel can bypass the needle valve
and cause flooding.
Float adjustment
6Reassemble and check the float setting. Do
this by holding the top cover vertically so that
the float hangs down under its own weight.
Measure dimension (A) (Fig. 3.10) which
should be between 1 0.50 and 11.10 mm
(0.41 to 0.44 in) with the gasket in position. If
necessary, bend the float arm tab to adjust.
7Now check the float travel which should be
45.0 mm (1.77 in). If adjustment is required,
bend the end of the float arm.
Accelerator pump stroke
8Using a twist drill as a gauge, open the
throttle valve plate through 3.5 mm (0.138 in).
9Turn the nut on the accelerator pump rod
until it just makes contact with the pump
control lever.

between 0.75 and 0.80 mm (0.030 and
0.032 in). Adjust if necessary by means of the
screw and locknut.Anti-flooding device
11This consists of a diaphragm capsule and
link rod.
12The condition of the diaphragm can be
checked by applying a vacuum source to the
hole in the throttle valve plate block. The
vacuum pressure will drop if there is a leak.
13Actuate the choke valve plate lever fully
and depress the control lever of the
anti-flooding device to simulate operating
vacuum.
14There should be a gap (Y) (Fig. 3.15)
between the edge of the choke valve plate
and the wall of the carburettor throat of
between 3.75 and 4.25 mm (0.148 and
0.167 in). Any adjustment that may be needed
should be carried out by bending the link rod.

1The carburettor top cover with float may be
removed without the need to withdraw the
carburettor from the manifold. The other
adjustments described will require removal of
the carburettor.2Extract the top cover fixing screws,
disconnect the small externally mounted
tension spring and take off the top cover.
3Access to the fuel inlet needle valve is
obtained by carefully tapping out the float arm
pivot pin. Take care, the pivot pin pillars are
very brittle.
4Check that the needle valve body is tight
otherwise fuel can bypass the needle valve
and cause flooding.
Float adjustment
5Reassemble and check the float setting. Do
this by inverting the top cover so that the
weight of the float fully depresses the ball of
the needle valve. The distance (A) (Fig. 3.16)
between the float and the surface of the top
cover flange gasket should be between 2.0
and 3.0 mm (0.079 and 0.118 in). If
adjustment is required, alter the thickness of
the washer under the needle valve.
Accelerator pump
6Fill the carburettor float chamber and then
operate the throttle valve plate lever several
times to prime the pump.
