By way of introduction, I stumbled across BCF while searching the web for guidance on how to replace the motor mounts on my '69 XKE OTS, and realized that it might be easier learning from the experiences of others! In addition to the XKE, I have a '48 Lea-Francis 14hp Sports that has been in my family since 1949. Both cars have been languishing in my garage while I spent far too much time working. Now it's time to spend some time on them. The Lea-Francis needs an overhaul to the fuel system as the California gas has gone sour and has gummed up the carbs. I don't think there are any short cuts here - it's a fuel tank removal and clean, and carb rebuild unless anyone has ideas...
