Fuel vapourisation

[Steve Jones]

The only time I've had real vapourisation problems with my Saloon was climbing the Kirkstone Pass on two of Malcolm's Cumbria runs. Following advice from Dave Mann, I removed the flitch plate on the near side in an attempt to get more outside air past the carburettor (bronze Zenith updraught) and I had no problems when climbing hills during the heat of Morton last year or this May when it was hot during our week in and around Presteigne. Has that solved the problem? Don't know as I've not taken it up the Kirkstone Pass yet!
