Also check the rubber pipe between carbs i have seen one where slivers of rubber came off the inside when fitting and messed up float needles
Yes it’s a Rover P6 2200 TC 1976 it has a AccuSpark Electronic Ignition Performance kit fitted so no points checked carbs took tops off and sprayed carb cleaner in them to clear any blockages and put some three in one oil in the tops checked spark plugs yesterday they were all sooted up one of the plugs the electrode had broken away so will have to replace it as I,ve started to drain all the petrol from the tank as I still think it’s down to the petrol I bought from esso as the car was driving lovely before I filled up with there petrol as I think it’s contaminated with kerosene as someone said on here about another petrol retailer as when I set a light to a little drop of it a lot of black smoke came off it and a very bad smell came off it and yes the Rover is well designed you can unbolt ever panel off it and it’s been well looked after no rot in the usual places only a couple of rust spots one in the boot and two on the rear panel under the rear windscreen what the rear scuttle panel bolts to all the running gear is in good condition thanks

Evidently 'Esso Synergy Supreme+ 99' is ethanol free and they sell it at the Tesco garage closest to me.
Don't shoot me if I am wrong ... just read about it on another forum.
It’s a Rover 2.2 twin carbs with su carbs on it

I use my local Esso garage, no problems to report with the bikes, car & generator
That’s what that person on YouTube is saying there is kerosene in the petrol it shows him setting a light to it so perhaps that’s what’s in the petrol I bought from esso causing my car not to run right or the E5 petrol is contaminated with E10 petrol as that would cause my car not to run right

I had that same problem 2015 my Triumph Trident T160 1975 wouldn’t start one day during winter I told my friend in the triumph club to ask his other friend in the bike club he told my friend to tell me drain all the petrol from the tank and put fresh super unleaded petrol in it the bike started striate away as I always bought petrol from sainsburys and I,ve got the same problem esso don’t want to no they are saying take it up with Greenway even thou esso supply the petrol to greenway so far I,ve drained 8 litres from the car from the pipe that goes to the petrol pump haven’t found any water in it so far or dirt as I used a funnel with a filter in it to pour the petrol into containers as the person I got the car from told me there’s a lot of dirt in the petrol and told me the petrol is contaminated with water up north wales

Hi anyone else on here had a problem using esso E5 super unleaded petrol I bought a classic car 3 weeks ago when I collected the car the car was driving lovley he had put 4 gallons of petrol in it then called into a esso petrol station in north wales filled it up with £50.17 worth of E5 super unleaded petrol then after about five miles the car started to backfire from the carburettors causing the car to loose power and coughing and spluttering coming from the twin carburettors and I noticed a bad smell of fumes coming into the car then the problem went away then it started again when I got onto the M54 casing the car to back fire and loss of power causing me to breakdown had to call the recovery breakdown to tow me back home I,ve done a check on a sample of petrol pouring it into a little plastic water boltle to see if it’s contaminated with water but no sighn of water then done a test like someone on YouTube poring a drop into a metal lid off a pedal bin and putting a match to it to see when the flames go out to see if there’s sighn of any moisture but no sighn of moisture but one thing I did notice a lot of black smoke coming off the petrol is this a sighn of stale petrol or it going off the one on YouTube was talking about the esso petrol he used in his car that messed all the jets up in the injection system and someone else told me this when I was in a euro car parts shop he used esso petrol said it messed up all the jets in the injection system so now I,ve got to drain all the petrol out of the tank as the cars not running right I,ve complained to esso customer service but are blaming the retailer where I bought the petrol from even thou it’s sighn posted with the esso logo on the petrol pumps so has anyone else had problems using esso petrol

Seeing as everyone is showing off their 750's, I thought I'd show you mine 
I bought the bike almost 6 years ago and its been at the end of a very long queue of other work and build projects but, Graham has now finished the restoration and as usual, he has done an absolutely stunning job as always, with no help from me whatsoever 
I always had plans to ride the bike regularly after the build but being almost 6 years older than I was when I bought the bike, I am now a total muscular weakling. 750's are fine for me when riding but moving them around on the spot is now impossible and if I loose my footing when stationary, at traffic lights etc, there is no way on this earth I can now hold the bike up. I'm only 5'5'' on a tall day, so touching the ground safely on 750's has always been a bit of an issue that I chose not to worry about, now its not safe.
I will get round to selling the bike at some stage but I thought you would like to see some photos. This is the last bike I own personally that will be restored. I won't be buying any more. My 500/4 and 550/4 are are all restored and are regular riders for me and when eventually they get too heavy, I've got my CD250u

Julie you’re done a good job restoring this bike they are taller than the 550 four I have the CB750 four K1 I find it ok but I,m 5’8” tall they do get heavy moving them around as you get older they get heavier I have the CB550 four KO 1974 as well it’s a lot lighter and not as tall as the 750 and handles better but the CB750 four is still the best looking bike when it came out in 1969 Triumph couldn’t compete with it as everyone wanted the CB750 four one of my favourite bikes is the Kawasaki Z1A-4 1976 but they are very heavy

Hi can you tell me what model this rear mudguard come off as it came off my Honda CB750 four K6 1976 as it’s not the correct mudguard for my bike as the bolt holes don’t line up where it bolts to the frame ,the holes for the rear tail lamp holder are the same as the K6 I,ve attached some pictures of it thanks.
