Hello and welcome to the last Minor Tinkering video, I was hoping to get out and do a nice walk around video of Old Dorris but the weather had different ideas so I have put together a selection of photos from when I first got Dorris to some real recent ones.
This video just shows you her Minor Makeover !

    I had a slightly bent damper in one of my carbs, which caused a problem identical to yours. Also back when I was new to SUs I let my damper oil get too low. That also caused the "stutter" as I used to call it . Doris is lovely, the whitewalls are splendid. Of course over here (US) my folks new 1960 had whitewalls, so they look normal to us.

      If you move the driveshaft completely from the transmission the fluid will come out. Manual transmission oil is completely different to Automatic transmission oil.

    Nice video, love the look of the dash. What size engine has she got? Be careful not to sit with the clutch down too long at lights etc as you probably only have the carbon release bearing on the clutch and they advise you only use the clutch to put it into gear or when changing gear.
