Looking good mate.
Post some pics and tell us some tales as you drop the fuel tank for the flush out. I'm about to do the same to mine - I haven't even lifted the wood in the tray to see what's underneath yet eeek :esurprised:

Removed the broken headlightImageImageImage
Entirely different to the Lucas version. By the trouble I had getting it out I would say who ever last installed it used the wrong screwsImage
I could be wrong

There is fuel in the pump bowl. Smells like varnish. Blew air back down the line and there is pressure at the fuel cap. No holes in my the tank by the look. ImageImage
Bit perplexed why the filler neck is sticking out from the body but I’d say it is something to do with the patch up job on the tank mounting.

The screws look original, same as Bosch headlight on the FE.

Thanks ekv8ute. They are just butchered. Seems like there should be springs as well? Anyway the other side may elucidate things.

Found a clue to origin behind

I’ve given or thrown away a couple of pieces of this section recently. There is another patch on the firewall probably to access rear but on the 186 extractors. If it runs the pips get the flick in favour of stock manifold. Don’t think I can afford X2 186S headers. Any way they might overtax the gear box.

Manifold back on. Gasket will do.

Carb is BXV-2Image
Missing a screw from the air horn, one brass manifold nut and the needle. Accelerator pump plunger looks good if dry. Touch of vasso on it. Found a screw and nut in my stash. Don’t suppose sprint will have needle and seat.

It's a rodent.
Or are you talking about the hollow-point?
