Sounds like a faulty component to me or perhaps one of the hoses was not fitted ted correctly

As above. They can be quite awkward to remove. I recall I was able to stop mine rotating by wedging the t piece with a block in place of pliers. When replacing make sure you don't get left with an air bubble in this leg. It will no bleed out in my experience and causes spongy brakes. You can get an ...

The above description is probably a 1275 engine with the canister on the timing cover.

Regarding your car, does it have a canister on thr tappet covers? If so has it been cleaned out and where is it connected?

I have this on mine which I have connected via a Pcv valve to thr inlet manifold

Having had 2 windscreens go over the years, I cannot recommend enough the benefits of a modern laminated screen. The difference when this broke (crack in screen) compared to a conpletly blown original was incredible. On top of that mordent screens don't come with the 60 years of scratches that refle...

Not sure what year your pick up is. If its a later one it would have a olil catchpot on the tappet cover likely plumbed into the carb. I would check this line as a leak in this could created your observed issues

Given that it's a brand new carb has the mixture been adjusted correctly?

I made the one in the cap from flat sheet copying theold one.

I know there are 2 types and you cannot mix and match. Not sure when they changed over

I had this issue for many years. After changing gaskets to viton and thr filler hose I eventually realised it was coming from the cap. Fuel was evaporating and running back down on the outside of the filler flexis line back into the boot. Obviously not very much but it does not need to be to get a s...

When you press the throttle does it not do anything?

Sounds like the r fuel pump. I find they tend to fail with intermittent use. Iin all liklihood it will need a clean up on the points. Mine did this earlier this year after not being used over the winter. I took the cap off the pump cleaned the surfaces on the points and it's been fine since. I did t...

I always thought the higher the diff ratio the more chance of breaking one. So a 3.9 would have a lower chance than a 4.2.

Using this logic lcvs are very prone. They have a very low ratio, and when empty are very light at the back so can bounce promoting wheel slip.

I have found the screen mouts to work better on the screen. I did stick a stanav onto thr metal dash but that damaged thr paintwork so I won't do that again

A usb point can me mounted discretely under the dash and then can be wired for positive or negative earth

I just use a phone holder with a suction pad on the windscreen. I have.a usb socket fitted under the dash to power it on longer trips

If you are registered as an Exhibitor you park on thr track or in thr pits area. If you just have tickets to visit you park in thr adjacent field parking. There is lots of parking and it's all free. You then walk in which is about 5 to 10 minutes away

I would add to the list good quality stop tail leds bulbs. The difference is quite something. You won't notice it, but other road users will see you. If you car is bumpy I would change the damper oil. It is often over looked and sae30 gives an improvement in my mind, but it depends if you are after ...

:I have fitted the ESM one. Very worthwhile if you want your engine to last

Have you checked the ignition timing? It could be too advanced

How well us the engine breathing working now? Are you planning to couple the mx5 pcv to thr inlet?
