Hi everyone
She's here! Finally arrived, after months of back and forth communications, some fantastic help from Looigi, and the nightmare that is the import process.
My little 1963 D, as cute and fun as they come.
I have a long way to go with these little cars. I've owned classic minis in the past and love their size and simplicity, and I think the 500 goes one step further in both areas. I can't wait to get to know them better, hopefully with a little help from you guys. I'm not yet familiar with what switches and levers do what, but I have got the haynes manual which I'll have a good look at.
My first cry for help is oh dear she won't start.
Ticking over nicely (connected by leads to my wife's car) and the exhaust occasionally 'pops'. But not starting or even chugging.
Looking in the back, there is fuel dripping. I've had this in the past on a mini and given the carb a good tap and dislodged a stuck float.
Could this be my problem here, and if so, where do I tap!
As you can see, there's petrol dripping from the hose at the large circle point, almost spraying out given the fact that it's hitting the back of the engine bay.
The smaller circle is just showing all the petrol dripping to the floor...
ANy help would be fantastic. Unfortunately I hope to be calling on you guys for some simple tips as much as possible, as there aren't too many little Bambinos in Sydney!
Thanks again!
