Hi,
Sorry to drag up my old topic but I had some issues outside of all this.
I have gone up to where the Vogue is stored and replaced the Oil Filter, Oil, Water, Fuel, fuel filter and sparks. I checked there was pressure from the fuel pump and that was ok.
I had someone who happened to walk by and know about engines come in and said the problem was the "Thermo Quad Carb" and that it needs a massive clean. So i took the carb off and have brought it home and purchased some Carb cleaner.
I noticed once I got home there was some stuff in one of the bigger pipes inside of the carb so decided to take it apart and clean it. I am not engine minded but am very patient so I downloaded a manual and I have been following instructions on how to take it apart to clean it all.
But now I have run into a problem. I have to desperate the top of the carb from the fuel bowl it says it should come off easy. I have made sure that there are no bolts anywhere etc but It just won't come off. I was told that what ever I do do NOT try and pry it off with a screw driver as I will damage the Fuel bowl.
So does any one have any suggestions on how to get this off as I think it has just got so old and stuck together?
Kind Regards
Joe
