Like Reckers says, the under body heat doesn't help, that and a scuttle tank brewing the fuel up !! I wonder what precautions / changes were made for countries like India and Africa back in the day ?
In reply to Reckers, no in line fuel filter, jets all clean (Must check the hole in the filler cap though). To get home yesterday, I had one side of the bonnet open for the last 15km or so, but it didn't improve the situation.
Out of curiosity, during the episode, I pulled the choke out a bit whilst trundling along at 40 kph - result, engine stopped and I rolled to a stop! After a brief pause, she started without problem.
To Dave Mann, I don't have the flitch plates installed (Plates below the exhaust pipe), also note that your RN has the expansion loop in the vertical plane.
I guess I ought to check the float level as noted on the Cornwall A7 site ???
My local club suggested insulated flexible fuel pipe - doesn't look right, but may offer a solution.
