Re: Brakes slow to release
Hi Alec, Thanks for replying. I think it is all wheels as far as I know. My Son Paul was driving, so information is second hand.

Brakes slow to release
After braking the brakes seem to drag until I reach about 30 mph, then release.
What should I investigate first?

Re: Converting carbs to manual choke.
I have nearly completed the conversion and have just got to balance the carbs and test run for a period of time.
I will make another report when I am happy with the completed work.

Re: Fuel pump ticking
I have now more or less just finished converting the carbs to manual choke, all seems to be OK. I have just got to adjust and set and balance the carbs. The ticking fuel pump may have been the connection from the new petrol tank not sealing properly. I had to clean the inside of the threads to the u...

Fuel pump ticking
I have a 3.4 1962 Mk 2 and the fuel pump continues to tick when the carbs are full, the engine is not running and the ignition is on. I have changed the fuel pump and the new one operates as it should. What could be the fault of the old replaced fuel pump please.
