Hi Spam I'm just down road from you in Oldham. I had it in a garage last year and had loads done to it new coil fuel pump and brakes and other bits, cost me a fortune but was never "right". Choke wouldn't come out any etc.. so assume they did some fannying around with that rather than adjust carbs 😞 Wouldn't start and as left for few weeks without trying not turning over so bought new solenoid but I am so daft I don't know which wires for what. I "think" needs carbs adjusting. Am dying to get this thing on road as just gonna rot otherwise. Like I say, not expecting someone to come and fix it up for nowt, sick of gettinv ripped off by clown garages who don't know owt without computer chip though!

Who knows their way around Spitfire 1500 engine/carbs able to help get mine up and running? Will gladly pay some cash for any helpful assistance ax I'm tosh at it!

Ledgend. Cheers Raymondo

You beauty, where abouts are you based boss? Would love to see how they are

Hello folls, bought new solenoid as spitfire wasn't turning over, unfortunately I disconnected everything and not kept note of what goes where! Embarrassing I know but what can you do???? Anyone help an amateur out?

Manchester, bit far for me that! 😁

Cheers all. Next Q then, where would you refurb? Tried drivers a couple year ago, made right balls up of it 😁

I've heard about MX5 seats being chucked into spitfires but does anyone know what year MX5 I'd need to be looking for and anything else needed, rails etc..? Any advice appreciated

I'm in Oldham. Thanks for this pointer, I'll give him a shout.

Bugger doesn't start much and when last did lumpy as fook. Last place who stung me appear to have amended my choke so is constantly on full blast. Place before that "helped" by readjusting carbs to help pass emmissions. In short, everyone has twisted and turned everything. 😞

I'm in dire need of someone who can help me out with getting a 1976 Spit 1500 up and running. Everywhere I take it I get ripped off for a grand here, 2 grand there and never ends up running. Please can anyone point me tk someone in Manchester/North West who knows how to setup carbs on an old car?
