Written by Mac some time ago on tablets of stone, this article really is *the* reference article to get your head round the 1.4 carb (concentrating on the main E versions) and how to rebuild one.
Finally available in PDF. Hosted by me.
Available here
Yes, I know where it *should* be posted (in the V3M TECHNICAL forum ‹ Technical resources & information ‹ V3M how to guides), but the settings of his lord and master does not avail me of this option (sort it out Aymat
)

No problem at all Mac. Thank you for your assistance in supplying the paper copy and confirming the finer details with me.
If anyone spots any howlers / has any comments / suggestions then do let us know (well nag at Mac, I just the messenger) so we can correct the details in a future version.

Nice work Mac. The best 'how-to' on this subject I've seen so far.
