British Car Affair at Government House

The 2016 Old English Car Club event in Victoria this year was located at the official residence of the Lt. Governor of BC.

 Government House 

The drive down Vancouver Island was uneventful, but as i arrived at the hotel the car began a very bad miss, essentially making it undriveable.
I spent the evening and next morning trying to diagnose the problem, eventually replacing the coil, but with no success. Finally I noticed fuekl leaking from under the carburetor. It turned out that there was a leaking plug bolt. When idling, there was not problem, however when giving any kind of acceleration, it was sucking in too much air. Snugged up the bolt, and Bob's yer uncle.

  1. HI there from Sydney Australia. I have been reading your blog and haven't seen anything new in a while. I do hope you still have your Rover. We have family living on the Island, we would have been visiting this year except for the dreaded Covid. I have a 1964 Rover 95. I hope you are all well, regards, Rob
