Hi there, I have recently bought an Austin j2 paralanian and am very much a novice mechanically. I've found that it tends to judder randomly. Someone said that it may be the air filter or the fuel mix. I have been buying lead to add to the unleaded that I put in but it looks like there are lots of other products that can be used. Please could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Luke

Hi
I am a former Paralanian owner; I found the carb to be in almost constant need of cleaning out, probably due to some rust/sediment in the fuel tank. An in-line fuel filter practically cured it overnight.
