I do not know how well the vacuum advance diaphragm is able to cope with modern fuels. It may be that we have to go back to fitting a fuel/fuel vapour trap. This subject may well be worth an article in the magazine Phil. Allot of us thought the original pipe was just an untidy mess when we bought o...
