No but I thought about doing it for another model but this was a lot of work to do just one model and I don't know if I wanted to take it on especially for free
Years ago Ralph made videos for the roll's Royce club but they paid for all of these videos. I believe there were 4. They are old and out dated. I made the rest of these in my car condo an I have nothing to do with the rolls Royce club in fact they wanted nothing to do with it because of liability.
Is Ralph did originally work for Rolls Royce. All these videos are made by Steve Spencer, me. They are all new within the last few years. As I've gotten older I wanted to produce a product that would be around forever that had my name on it that's why I did it. it was a lot of work Ralph stopped by occasionally and gave me advice and loved being in the videos. I do have a bunch of more video on my laptop finishing up the interior of the car and some of the items that I did not cover but it's so much work I just have not got around to Organize and publishing then.
Great video teacher i got a problem whit a 1978 silver shadow ii there a big fuel leak comin from the over flow valve on the left side on the engine can you give me and idea whabt can i check please...sub back thank you
Different carburettor, your Silver Shadow 11 has SU H1 F7 carbs. One or both of your float needles are not shutting off when the float bowl fills (could be dirt stopping the float needle from closing or a worn needle or you may have a punctured float that is not rising to shut the needle. In your carbs the float bowls are not accessible without removing the carbs completely as a pair. There's a centre nut holding the plinth down to the inlet manifold, you need to undo that and lift the carbs off to get at the float bowls underneath. Take photos and mark any wires and connections with different colour tape as you separate the connections and pipes before removing the carbs, otherwise you will have a nightmare reconnecting everything in the right place afterwards. No harm to replace the two small fuel filters at the end of the fuel line where they enter each carb and the main fuel filter under the floor while you're at it.
County-Wexford Beekeepers-Association. Thanks for reply i gonna check that i still have the car here at the shop sp ill try that ill let you know what happen
County-Wexford Beekeepers-Association hello brother so i did what you toll me before i remove the carbs i make sure i was able to buy the gasket kit it took like a month to get it so any way i did the easy carbs first and i didnt find anything wrong whit so i did tha one by the drivers side i soon as i open it i saw the floater full of gas so i new that was the problem i change all the gasket i order the floater it took a month to get it put everything back and theres no more leak the car runs like a dream thanks you so much for your help i will subs to your cahnnel...i will make a video an i will put you channel so ppl knows about you if that its ok let me know please ✌
They are not "dashpots" They are suction chambers. The viscosity of transmission fluid is inadequate for the function of the carburetor. This guy is a mug. The oil in the piston damper is the equivalent of an accelerator pump. If you put an oil of a lesser viscosity into the damper then what happens is a weakened/leaner mixture occurring under acceleration -which is the antithesis of what the engine needs. By advocating such fluids for such applications I will go out on limb and say that this guy has only half a clue about what he is on about.
This guy is wrong I don't know what hes saying but use ATF transmission fluid for multiple reasons I've driven my cloud to 80000 miles and it works perfectly
@@GoldsboroughHall Same fluid as the manufacturers recommend. They had SAE 30 weight oils in the day. Use a common 20W50 oil like we have today. If you understand the principles of the operation of SU carburettors you would not advocate using thin oils in the piston dampers. It works beautifully, more viscous when cold it gives mixture enrichment when cold, then, when the engine - and carburettor - warm up, that same oil thins out a little, which is just what the engine wants. I respect the engineers and testers and producers of these products who had to guarantee their products and their recommendations more than suburban and shade-tree mechanics with their , limited, non scientifically tested anecdotal "evidence". Use your own life experience to evaluate the evidence before you, and the claims of any self professed "expert".
@@GoldsboroughHall Furthermore, Transmission fluid was around and available at the time these cars were manufactured and sold. Rolls Royce, in conjunction with the manufacturers of the S.U. carburettors, never recommended the use of ATF. You have to ask yourself, who to defer to; the manufacturers, or some suburban mechanics?

The second guy on this video,
Sounds like Herman Munster!
Anybody else think so too?
brilliant !
Do the same the rules apply for the twin SUs on the Cloud I? Very informative clips - cheers.
What are the 2 metal extensions for? How should they be installed?
Just what size was the drill that Ralph used to check the adjustment of the needle and seat?
With the modern gas Ralph recommends 1/2 in drill
Do you have a video for the Silver Shadow? Or is it similar? Thanks Great Video!
No but I thought about doing it for another model but this was a lot of work to do just one model and I don't know if I wanted to take it on especially for free
I'm from Brazil, and I'm with a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 1973 and I need to hit the carburetors with some manual to get it right, I ask for your help
I am a cloud guy do know much about shadows.
I have been wondering how many videos Ralph made and why he made them? Did he work for RR? When were these made? 1980?

Dang I have always been told to work on a running car in a closed sealed garage
I am from Qatar which oil put inside
Please tell me
Transmission fluid Atf

What fluid would you recommend for a Silver Cloud V8?
This guy is wrong I don't know what hes saying but use ATF transmission fluid for multiple reasons I've driven my cloud to 80000 miles and it works perfectly
Also to have a clue I think me and Ralph would be considered 2 experts on rolls Royce silver clouds around the world.I don't know who this guy thin
