Always glad to help a bowtie or poncho guy in trouble :P
Hope he got some assistance from the AA and got back home OK
Very nice truck, I'm sure a clean out of the float bowels and a new fuel filter and all will be well.
Good to meet up at The Goat again, good times and good cars as ever 8-)
Will be up at Buntingford as it is a great event and rounds off the season before the dreaded onset of dark nights and bad weather...
See you there, will post about it in the events section and see if we can tempt a few more away from their keyboards :P

aa guy was about late 40's and said to Simon he has never worked on a Holley but knew Webbers inside out....stripped the carb and full of shit like you said Dave and got it running ok now me mate is trying to get a filter locally :problem:

That's weird, cos TVR brakes, particularly rears, are just standard for bits usually..

Good work Dave though, bit of old school experience always wins through ... :clap: :thumbup:

Good to hear your buddy got home alright, those small chrome filters are not a good idea as you can't see what is going on...I would also tell him to fit a clear fuel line as it makes it easy to spot things like water in the fuel etc. I would also say clean the tank out as a filter will clog if the tank has rust also old fuel lines in steel can produce rust...
