I've been dickin' with the leg for weeks now. I am right close to sending it to PYP. If it is above zero, I can get it to run great, the second it drops below, it turns into an overfueling peice of crap all over again. I have done every adjustment known to man and I can not get it to run correctly in cold weather. I don't need another summer car!!!!

Does anyone have any or might know someone who has a stromberg/zenith/pierburg/solex 175cdus/cd175/cdt175 or an SU hif6 lying around? I really need help with this one, I need a reliable car for the winter, especially now after I hit a light pole with the del sol...don't ask.

Don't toss them. If nothing else, Rhys Kent in Victoria will pay shipping to send them out to him for spare parts...

For sure! I just sold him the HIF6's that came on the engine you sold me. By the way (not to hijack). The engines all done, I'm working on brakes (just got a hub puller) will remount the engine and fire it up in the spring. Can't wait.

I've got two nice HS-6 on B18 manifold with heatshield and nice fuel pump and spacer plate just sitting here I always wanted to use on an Amazon that I probably never will...

Prices WILL be reasonable.
