I took the volvo out last nite to go to the shops and as bad luck would have it my secondaries (the big barrels on the carb) decided to clog up just before a white R33 tried to have a go with me. I might as well have raced a datsun 120Y I still would have lost, the car was coughing and spluttering so much. Up till then that evening it was running mint.

I'll have to wait to fix the secondaries as the wife doesn't want me taking the car off the road for a while.

Cam,

the secondaries are probably clogged, I recently rebuilt the carb with a kit and sometimes little bits of casket sealant can fall into the needle holes, should be easy to clean. The other problem is the vacume diaphram opener is stuffed so you have to 'feed' the throttle or it bogs down (not a big problem for me tho').

BOV wise , I can call past after work on the way home or this evening after dinner?

    • I sent off a message to a guy, waiting for his response if he can do it or knows someone.
    • Just remake the bracket. It's just bent steel with a nut welded to it. It is thinner material than you might remake it in. You just have to get the thickness right in places where it absolutely must be (and there might not actually be any such places. The same motor trimmer who you get to work on the outside of the seat would no doubt have done exactly this type of repair in the past.
    • Yeah I agree, it's almost impossible to get them out without inflicting some sort of damage to the subframe!  Especially when you get excited with the air chisel like I did!  I'm not fussed, it's a somewhat non-critical component in terms of inhibiting function if there were dags or slight damage to the bore of the bush location.  Once you bolt it back up it never moves.  It's not like a suspension arm that needs to move through a range of motion that damage would actually make a difference to.
    • Update: pulled the passenger bracket off and looks some what universal. the driver bracket is proper cooked and don’t see how I could get it fixed.   my thought process is, buy a cheap passenger seat and swap the bracket over and foams as mine are cooked  
    • Will definitely ask, I’m expecting that I’ll need to sell my left nut
