More Car trouble
Took Car for a run after refitted exhaust.
The throttle was sticking.
Choke pull came away in my hand.
Loss of power, when accelerating.
Also found two leaks on bottom of rad.
Still got to sort
Checked carbs:- air leaks, silicone hoses, springs on throttle, refitted choke and shorten cable. Gave a quick spray of carb cleaner. All running ok ?? Strange

Little Jobs
Relocated the fuel pump lower down, as it was getting quite noisy, shorten fuel line, not sure if suck in air
Shin protectors :D from experience, still got the two burn holes
New exhaust wrap

Spoke to Tiger and they said haven’t got any in and waiting for delivery, which they didn’t know how long, they also said it wasn’t a standard Sierra part

Spoke to Burtons, they are only doing mail order so couldn’t go up to them and check sizes.
We decided to turn them around, so better one was at the rear of bush and split on front

It should drive a lot better once you've replaced that bush!

Do you have to get them from Tiger? GBS sell them and I know they're still delivering as I got stuff of them last week. I'd imagine bushes are pretty standard size?
