However, having tons of experience on malfunctioning British automotive equipment from the past does make you a better sailor / Captain because when you do have a problem you have lots of background experience on what can go wrong; and in where to look / and how to fix things with bailing wire and string - if need be.

Thanks for the memories, but I have no experience with SU carbs, Lucas electric systems, or british cars or motorcycles. I do have experience with Montgomery boats, and that's why I subscribe here.

Hey guys, those of us who have owned British Cars know that the reason the Brits drink warm beer is because of lucas refrigerators. But we wised up and bought Montgomery sailboats, built in the USA. Steve

I ran out of gas in my 1963 Triumph TR4 and the airport when there flying my 1950 Cessna 170. I put some 100 low lead aviation fuel in the car to get home. It smelled like a plane and ran fine but by the time I got home the gasket on the fuel bowl had swelled, warped, and allowed the gas to leak out profusely. This suggests to me that aviation gas is not always harmless.
