GregT Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Good recovery on both the problems. For some reason the X1/9's seem to have 2 or 3 jesus nuts. which if they come loose do serious damage. That shaft damage was most likely caused by the nut loosening. I found on ours the guy who fixed a rear suspension balljoint hadn't adequately tightened the nut on the end of the axle/hub carrier. Discovered it on a test drive and limped it back before anything major fell off. Wheel could go in and out 2 inches when i got back. Good design doesn't leave things up to how tight a nut is done up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That nut was noticeably looser than the one on the other shaft... I gave both a few duggas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an uncle who farmed there up to the 70's I think. Spent a couple of holidays there in the 60's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePog Posted yesterday at 07:56 Share Posted yesterday at 07:56 She actually suggested going out in it the other day, she must have forgotten how scary it actually is. I might make an action vid in the weekend so you can appreciate the goodness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has a later model Fiat Uno electronic distributor that I paid a lot of attention to back in the day, I do not think anyone has even touched the timing so I will leave it be. The transition hesitation is a known 'feature' of poorly tuned DCNF's and I guess Webers in general, so I will have a play with things there. It is already much better with the bigger mains in there. All of my notes previous show 180 airs, F24 emulsion tubes and 130 mains, so it looks like someone has messed with it since leaving my care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
