JowettTalk

Away on holiday last week so today I used two colour tune plugs and a balancer . The car was so rich that the colour tune plugs blackened so bad that I could not read them. Fitted two new needle seats and adjusted spacers to get a cleaner burn. Balancing not so easy , left hand carb looking from fro...

Today I checked the cam timing using information provided on the forum by Keith and David, seems cam timing is correct. I had at first thought it was an air leak in the fuel lines as I can improve power by pulling out the choke, but today with clean plugs the signs are it’s over rich with black plug...

Had problem before winter storage, fresh petrol and new plugs but thanks for suggestion

Hi All help and suggestions please The Javelin is lacking in power, pull out coke and it improves . Looked for air being sucked in using first propane and then carb cleaner, no leaks found. Compression check 150 on all cylinders. Checked timing. Checked tappet setting. All seemed correct Connected v...

I have found JowettTalk most useful and members response alway helpful . The only area I find difficult is in the search of topics. Improving the search would be helpful .
To all who keep the JowettTalk running many thanks

Suggestions please drove the Javelin today and for the first time , when changing into second gear it jumps back out a couple of times. Could this be adjustment of the two little pegs and springs on the gearbox .

Wow what a great service ,ordered parts on Saturday 21st by email and they arrived today the 26th. Thanks to all who give their time at JCS so we can keep our cars on the road.

Just by chance while wriggling under the car I grabbed the rear layrub carrier and the end hit the body metal to metal. The atta...

My rear exhaust pipe , the one attached to the silencer has always touched the transverse stay. On inspection I have a different bracket to the one in the parts book. Can anyone tell me 1. the dimensions of bracket 1652 and 2. What does it bolt to as it look to be pointing away from the cars floor. ...

Hi David
I thought my car being registered in August 1953 would have a late number but just had a look and it’s a factory recondition with number R6539 so sorry can not help

We may have 30C today in places so every little improvement in cooling would help today.Just out of interest some years ago everyone was talking about “wetter water” higher boiling I understand to water. I did not go that way as it seemed rather expensive and I would rather know if my cooling system...

Thanks David for your help once again . Today A TR register friend put me in touch with a Coventry radiator repair man, as he is only 8 miles away I went to see him and he will fit a better core ie more cooling and charged £240 including vat. Should be ready in a week. Coolex were very helpful but n...
