Rover SD1 V8-S Triton Green Barn Find Part 3 Carb strip down and clean

[@111cccccc]

My Uncle pre ordered one of the first Rover SD1's off the production line in 1976. It was P reg 2.6lt & when he brought it to show the family i was mesmerised by it as a young lad. Quite large & the shape of a car i had never seen before. Sadly the colour of it was a typical Leyland colour (chocolate brown with fawn & brown interior). Who would have though of putting the instrument panel in a box & then placing it on the dash board for ease of access. Brilliant. Never the less in later years i have driven many SD1's while working for a garage & I loved them & owned one for about a year. That was a manual 3.5lt Vitesse in red with grey interior & a longer instrument panel. With the words Vitesse in white sticker format on the whole length of the lower doors. Black rubber spoiler on the tail gate. It was a monster. A reg

[@Iaintwoke]

3.5 lite or 3.3litre?

[@Iaintwoke]

Sorry, just looked it was 3.5 must be mixing it up with something else.

I live in Portugal and these cars very rarely come up for sale but I found a 2600 mk1 the other day which was finished in gold and was totally original. From previous experience of Portuguese cars their should be very little corrosion due to no salt on roads in winter. Having owned two 3500 in the eighties I am so tempted as it's only 5500 euros but what's putting me off is trying to get parts from the UK .at the moment I have a MK5 cortina and prior to Brexit getting bits from the UK was not a problem but now it can be a nightmare so that may be a reason for not going for the Rover. Love watching your videos and watching the progress on the rebuilds.will follow this one and see what horrors you uncover.

[@garypoulton7311]

Rimmers are your friend for parts, they send cheaply, with your VAT prepaid, so no silly customs charges. Buy it, they are not easy to find.

[@petershepherd6889]

@@garypoulton7311 thanks for that.had a look on another site yesterday and found another one. This is a 1982 2600s and it's only 1500 euros so may be making a purchase. Having a look on internet yesterday and it seems the 2300&2600 had camshaft problems.did that ever get resolved.

Just a thought. Both my adorable SD1 carburettor auto V8’s needed the choke to accelerate when cold. Having watched your channel my left index finger ‘instinctively’ goes down to the choke during this video! I’d forgotten where it was, but my ancient memory remembered!

Another fab video, good way to spend Sunday lunchtime

[@terryroe2023]

Excellent video. I had the moonraker Blue vitesse manual of this, which I purchased from the main dealer near Heathrow Airport years ago. Mine had the factory vitesse decals logo running along the bottom of the doors. I also went on and purchased the new 800 series vitesse in nightfire red with a manual box. It also came with a full leather interior. At 22,000 miles, the clutch failed, which caused catastrophic gearbox damage. The car was transported to the dealer, who repaired the vehicle under warranty. However, before being repaired, Austin Rover in cowley sent engineers down from the factory to look at the internal parts that failed that had all been laid out for inspection. The result was a brand new replacement factory gearbox and clutch. When I collected the car after this repair, I hadn't got 3 miles from the dealer when it broke down again. Depressing clutch to engage gear but no forward motion. Car was transported back to the dealer and, upon inspection, found that the driveshafts had popped out due to incorrect oil seals being fitted!! I couldn't believe it to be honest. I hope you can restore your classic car.

Another great video, Looks as though you have got a good example of a low mileage car, I am so glad I found your channel, it’s good to see someone working on old school technology “carbs” as this type of knowledge will be lost in the near future I grew up with carbs, dwell angle on points and proper repairing of parts not just fitting new parts instead of fixing old. It’s great to see that the old Rover SD1’s getting the love they deserve 😊

[@damiantaylor7993]

@@nitrosilvia you can go silly with Carbs and fine tune them for atmospheric pressure, carbs are harder to tune right but they have a wider scope of tune, efi, an mechanical injection can be took so far but there is a point that you can’t take them above while carbs can be tuned more

[@davidcole5842]

Not a fan of these cars but I am a fan of your enthusiasm :)

[@sidecarbod1441]

The issue may well be fuel but it is interesting that the the rev counter drops to zero as the engine dies, the rev counter works off the low tension side of the ignition system so if that stops then so will the rev counter and the sparks at the spark plugs. Having said that I can't think what sort of ignition fault you could have that would allow idle but then die as the revs go up. (I did have a stock ignition coil that caused something similar but at much higher RPM). All the engines that I build now have a 'locked out' dizzy and run with a programmable MSD 6530 system, the difference between any of the standard systems and an MSD is 'shocking' !!!!

or maybe not enough volts in the battery. Good call on the coil tho....could be breaking down.

I'd say this is a video success Nitro.. People are terrified of playing with carburettors because they are obviously delicate & clever and easy to damage resulting in uninitiated hell(s).. but, even I have worked out that if your carburettors are set up close to correctly and your timing is pretty good, you can as good as run a higher mileage or worn engine as well as it possibly will run...

[@nitrosilvia]

Fuel pressure deffo makes a difference for sure. As it drops I can pump it up and it picks up again

[@TheMahoney65]

Oil Pressure light is on. This is linked to the sensor on the sump/lower side of engine which needs 3lbs/sq in of pressure before turning the fuel pump (immersed in the tank) on. This can be bypassed with a piece of wire (I think it's a two position switch, one to low oil pressure indicator the other to the fuel pump). I had to do this by the side of the road once. Love this Mk1 SD1 especially the V8S. Best dash ever...central air vent thru (better) steering wheel.

Don't agree with what you say"that cover get's inverted" the valley gasket would take an explosion to invert and it's the valley end seals that are a known poor seal even when good. Love the v8s though how many were made 1200 ?

[@nitrosilvia]

Yeah they are well known for it. The combustion gases go past the rings into the crank case. Then they blows crappy oil mist which collects and bakes in the flame tray stopping the pressure from escaping and continually pressurises the crank case. Then it lifts the tin foil gasket up. Doesn't do it so much on the later composite gasket ones as they are stiffer and have a different breather.

Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on....
