for carburettor equipped cars without a return fuel line

Bad hot starting can be the result of pressure build-up in the fuel feed line of a carburettor equipped car, causing the carburettor to flood either during hot soak or whilst cranking.

Some manufacturers addressed this problem by fitting a fuel return line to the tank. However, this is a cumbersome solution for owners of cars without this feature as it involves making irreversible modifications to the car. Luckily Webcon has the answer.

Webcon’s Fuel Line Pressure Relief Kit provides extra fuel hose, clips and two tee pieces, (one with a valve and one without) to install a by-pass loop in the feed pipe that bleeds excess pressure build up from the system.

Installation involves just cutting the fuel feed pipe before and after the fuel pump and inserting the by-pass hose via the tee pieces. Solving a hot starting problem really is as simple as that. The kit contains a length of fuel hose, six hose clamps, two tee pieces and illuystrated instructions. The kit is available with 8mm i.d. hose (Part HSK001) or 6mm I.D. hose (Part HSK002) and retails at £18.99 plus VAT.

Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world.

Original parts books, workshop manuals and handbooks have always been greatly sought after, and rightly so: as nothing compares to the original workshop manuals compiled by the car’s manufacturer. However, obtaining these publications traditionally involved hunting around auto-jumbles for grubby or damaged workshop manuals, parts lists and owner manuals. Now, thanks to Moss Europe, all these publications are available digitally in the Moss range of Original Technical Publications.

The Original Technical Publications have been fully reproduced from extensive historical archives in England and in the USA. At last you can have access to the original manufacturers’ publications needed to run and maintain these cars in period, including: parts catalogues (most models), service manuals and owner’s literature.

The publications are modern digital versions of the original publications used by the parts departments, service garages and sales departments when these cars were still in production and being serviced. Each section provides detailed information on major systems, diagnostics, troubleshooting and overhaul, as well as the removal and installation of major components. They are compiled in an easy-to-understand format and contain step by step processes designed for the mechanic and the enthusiast.

The Original Technical Publications are supplied on a portable USB. Internet access is not routinely required. System Requirements: Windows 2000 or later and USB port. The DRM license is bound to the supplied USB.
Prices vary according to application and publication. See separate list for details.

You will probably already be aware that GAZ can produce bump/rebound adjustable dampers for either road or race use. This is an example of the race specific dampers that GAZ can offer.

The noticeably short body is ideal for lowered suspension. The bump/rebound damping rate can be adjusted to suit the track conditions and driving style by means of an easily accessible knob on the side.

The valving has been set up specifically for serious racing use.

The dampers feature a black zinc plated body for longevity and a plastic cover to protect the body from mud, stones and dirt.

All units are individually tested before leaving the factory.

GAZ rear race dampers for 1996 on Citroen Saxo and Peugeot 106 can be ordered as part number GT8 2041L at £69.37 each plus VAT.
