Oil puddle beneath carb

[lmehr@domain.elided (Louis Mehr)]

Greetings fellow Stag owners,

1/ I recently had quite a bit of fun with a new  fuel pump that was weeping 
around the banjos.

I think that it is now sorted. Paddock's sent me some equivalent German 
pump which looks sort of similar to the original but is not identical (the 
fuel outlet is inclined rather than horizontal,  the threads on the inlet 
do not fit the standard banjo bolts  and so a transition adaptor is needed 
etc. etc.)

By using the correct fibre washers  and plenty of torque there now finally 
seem to be no leaks (no gasket sealant was needed).


2/ Next jobs to do I think will be :
- to trace the source of the oil leak which is causing a puddle of oil on 
the top of the engine just under the carbs - is this a standard problem ?
- tune up.  I notice that on the maintenance video Tony Hart steers away 
from home tune up and just says leave it to the professionals. Why ?   Got 
any tips ?  Since I have a Gunson CO meter and air flowmeter I'd like to 
 have a go.

3/ Stag still for sale.

Thanks
