Mike,

I have started you a new thread as the forum is getting messy and this tidies it up.

In response answer to your questions posted here http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=14724 I reply as follows:-

-carb kits are available in the UK from the usual suspects

-That vehicle needs a very careful going over as it has languished for a long time without proper maintenance.

-Frankly I don't trust the previous maintenance that was done, I honestly believe from when I went to look at it not long before you bought it that the fluid flywheel, gearbox and transfer case fluids are suspect as to what was used. The previous owner, and the one before that, whom I have also met were barking up a very strange route when it came to putting "oils" into it to make it run

- It likely has a leak in one of those spaces as it did not have proper drive function in any gear. I suspect the fluid flywheel is leaking and that constant adding of fluid is not the way to go as far as a fix. It needs to be pulled and sorted.

- Is it under cover of a building now or is it sat in the "tall grass storage"?
