If you’re in need of a viscous coupling I have a brand new one plus a new tolerance ring for sale. £69.99 posted to your door. I bought it recently from Wins so (it’s a decent one) and no longer need it because I found a complete new; boss, coupling, and fan. So fitted that instead. it’s on eBay if you want to take a look at a couple of photos.

With regard to the carbs, I had similar problems to you until I fitted the club solid mountings. My rubber ones didn’t look too bad until I took them off and found how perished, and obviously leaky, they really were. I guess you’ve given them the WD40 leak test though already. Just a thought.

All the best, Bish.
I've what is supposed to be a good VC and boss in the garage waiting on me making my mind up. But since I got a better leccy fan for £20, I've fitted that for now.

Yep, done the WD40 test and passed it. Other than the gRimmer gritty rubber mounts I bought in the late 80s, which literally fell apart, I've not actually had one that leaked. But I've seen some that looked dreadful.
