Like the Trabbi , Its another car on my to do list, but then again so is a Moskvich, Tatra 602, .. the list is endless actually.
Just no more Fiats, one was enough.

does it look like this russ?



if so this might help..

Thanks, I think I've sussed it although with no brakes I can't really get it up to any speed. I've had a good look at it this week and I think I'm going to sell all of my worldly possessions to do a half decent job of it.

Here's an interesting question, is there such a thing on the market as a 12v fuel cut off? Something like a soledoid operated tap? I've had a brief google search but can't seem to find anything that does the job. I want to replace the fuel tap on it with one that closes the fuel off when the ignitions off.

tad expensive but that sounds right?

The expensive ones kinda look like what I want, I think. Cheers.

Similar as to what i use russ in my duel fuel 106, except its 3 way, ony thing to bear in mind is they get quite hot when energised

Most modern motorbikes use a vacuum operated tap, they have a pipe to the inlet manifold so that the tap is opened when the engine is running and also a 'prime' position for when the carb has been drained. Any use?

Ps yes there expensive. I paid £70 for 2 3 way solonoid valves. Worth the pennys thoygh
Russ what about a conventional fuel valve (stop cock type thing??)

I guess that would work, although it doesn't really have an inlet manifold, the carb bolts to the crankcase. I'll have a look and see if there's a possibility of tapping into it, as that sounds like a nice solution.

JW, it has a fuel tap which I keep forgetting to turn off, hence my interest in an automatic means of doing so.
