Re: car troubles

I got one of the driveshaft bolts out, is it a specialist tool? The set I've been using are not a proper fit. If so, has anyone got one I can borrow?

Re: Fuel pump fail?

I'm gonna try the replacement diaphram, that will determine my plan of action on the carb. I am watching some webers on ebay. Thanks for the help chaps.
