May have found out why it would not run?

I wonder if this might account for the low compression?  :holdurbreath:  :confused:
I put compressed air to two cylinders and really did not hear leakage.
Somewhere along the rebuild clear tape was put over the head ports.
It was not removed before the intake and exhaust were put on.
I will be doing another compression check once I put a few things back on the engine.

Hard to believe, but the VMC purchase may be ON again!
Sold a Triumph GT6 project, way too cheap but I promised myself I was cutting back.
That funds buying the VMC but I still need to scratch up more funds to get it shipped.
Seller finally relented and will allow me to send my own trucker, that will be much less expensive.
If he had done that a week ago I would already have bought the VMC instead of the Morris Minor.
If this goes sideways again, I will be buying Lotus and MM parts.

Can't help with the question but my original sender (TCS) is out and readily accessible if you need dimensions or a any photo's.

Thanks, but I have 2 rusted ones as patterns.

I have ordered the Herald one on eBay. I will report if it is the same length and fitting.

They must have got it from some normal car. They did with nearly all the other parts.

Garage / Fuel Tank Sender Unit
« Last post by 4129R on Today at 08:56:49 AM »
Can anyone confirm that a Smiths TBS 1514-003 fuel tank sender unit for a Triumph Herald/Vitesse will fit a TC tank? It also has the reference 215846, and is available from Rimmer Bros.

Is it the right length? An MGB AHU 1027 is the right sender, but the arm is too short, and rather than attach a longer arm from the original, I thought the TBS 1514-003 looked the same as the original.

Thought about making up my own system, but have too many other projects. From your pictures, a very nice looking system. Do you have the contact info for the seller? 

Will check back through my copious emails, Joji...know it's around somewhere...;)  between the 2 FB europa lists, groups.io, and here...sometimes knowing where you interacted is a bit frightening, LOL

I remember back during the '79 manufactured Carter Fuel Crisis,

Or do you mean the Fuel Crisis caused by the 1979 Iranian Revolution that took back their country from the US puppet government placed in 1953 for BP oil? :confused:

The ridiculous thing is that it is as valuable as an S1/S2 Europa.  :huh:
