Tigger's Bouncing!!!!

I think the gearboxes are the same as the petrol engine but you may need to swap the bell housing over - and maybe the input shaft. If so you can fit a normal Commer OD box.

Rover diff is 3.54, so no good whatsoever unless you have 150 bhp + to be able to pull it :)

I always thought it was more a torque issue Tim? Thought that maybe the diesel would cope?

It's a bit of both Baz, but either way there isn't enough with a STD commer engine, diesel or petrol :)

Finally had a decent run out today...loads better[8D]....is it normal that the engine now takes a lot longer before I can push the choke fully in?? Once he is warmed up though it's great.

only downside is with all that extra power I have developed a blowing back box...it has a small hole:(...never mind, new one ordered:p

It maybe that you where running rich on the old carb so didn't need so much choke. Nothing worse than a blow from your back box:I

If he runs fine when warm, then he's ok. Like Panky says it was probably too rich with the Weber [xx(]
Loads more torque i take it ?

Super job Colin, damn your getting good[^]
An SU makes a big difference, especially when used with a decent exhaust as Colin has done. Speaking of which did you manage a test drive:p

I always thought a Weber was the way to go, but trust me the SU is in another league, the difference in pulling power is amazing!....:D
