This message is in relation to your older british cars. I have a 53 land rover series 1 (with only 15033 miles on the clock, it has served since 1959 as a snow removal tool for a local garage, going 800 feet per snow fall, hence the low milage). With your experiance with olde english machinery, would you know the carb adjustments, or be able to point me in the right direction. I have a very slow dial-up connection(the joy's of living in the country, far from the city), so internet searches are slower than the land rover in low gear pushing snow on ice in 2 wheel drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated, apparently old land rovers are not as well liked as old volvo's, not much to be found so far.

Merci

Yvan

PS, It's - 25c and snowing, the land rover starts, runs but is powerless, and slow to rev-up, the point's plugs, cap, rotor and wires are new, it ran fine until I accedently(absent mindedly) put some bad gas in it. My neighbor, who is a mechanic checked the carb and twisted a few adjustments, to no avail. I then remembered where the gas in my gerry can came from(oh &?%$#), drained the tank, changed the filter, filled with premium, and havent been able to set it right since.
