To be honest, I dont beleive a sandpiper to be worth anymore then any other gemini... The best bit about them was the GTS mirrors, the trim was ugly as well as the paint imo... It would only be worth more then another gemini to a true die hard collector But thats just my opinion I get the same opin...

coasting enricher really only works in 5th or at any other coasting load so say 3rd and 4th will hardly be used in 2nd at all. Did you put the accelerator pump back together all properly? Could it be a vaccuum connection? I do a fair bit of highway driving so would like to have it run smooth in the...

I assume its idling okay and getting fuel, just not pumping? (If not, check that your charge light tuns off and that the solenoid and electric fuel pump (if fitted) are powered. Same for fuel cut-off solenoid if fitted -it's near the fuel inlet/needle&seat.) As to blockages, make sure no valve ...
