Club 80-90 Forums

Think i'm getting somewhere! Gone back to defaults, 2.5 turns out on mixtures, 90 degree turn out on throttle stops from seating - from this i can hear the advance kicking in on tick over. Adjusted the throttle stops back bit by bit, till they are virtually free, tick over down and its timing close ...

Ignore that last one, though i'd not sent it. All pipes are correct, so weak vacuum / air leak...

Thanks, will have a go later.

My revs drop when i disconnect the retard hose? Dizzy shot?

Thanks.

So if my revs slow when i disconnect the retard would that suggest an issue with the dizzy?

Had a lot of progress, rebuilt the carbs, they are back on and setting up at the moment. Couple of quick questions: Whats the best way to time it - with vac disconnected at revs to 25-28 BTDC, or with hoses on to 4-5 ATDC, keep reading conflicting ways to do it? Also, if i pull the retard at tick ov...

So if i have what seams to feel like over fuelling on Motorway driving could this cause it, looks like i have opposites on each side, one open one shut

sounds like i need to source replacements either way?

Thanks bigherb Just put the shut one in v hot water and its still shut (almost burnt my lips so its above 25º), although its only been around 20º or so here and the other one is open? Maybe they are both shot? Would it cause any issues either way? I'll speak to Gower & lee tomorrow to see if the...

Hi, Got both my solex 32-34 PDSIT carbs rebuilt and fixed a few small issues but what is this part and what does it do? There is one on each carb at the rear and after cleaning a can blow through one with ease, but the other is air tight (the one on the main carb)... which one is correct, assuming t...

Been having similar problems for a couple of years my self, bus is fine on A roads, but as soon as you get on a motorway... it has the same symptoms... New plugs New leads New coil New lines and filters Cleaned fuel tank New clutch (not related) Rebuilding carbs at the mo... Only thing left is the p...

Thanks guys, Virtually no play when shut so hopefully thats all good. First one has cleaned up well, just need to find a screw to fit

Cheers

Hi, Quick history - been having problems on motorway runs, hesitation under load, low power on hills etc. etc... 81 Aircooled CJ After cleaning fuel tank, new lines, checking electrics, vacuum leaks and more i decided to rebuild the carbs, so far so good, but got a couple of quick questions if i may...

Had a similar issue on my (older) bus recently, turned out to be a broken / worn clutch operating shaft, see https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=153536" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; basically it was engaging on an angle and wearing the clutch fingers, whi...

Bit of progress... sprayed some throttle cleaner into the carbs and tried revving the engine high and blocking the air intakes off and i have got an idle back, its a little slow but seams much happier. I have read and interesting post that was on another carb thread on 80-90 http://itinerant-air-coo...

Solenoids click and engine slows / dies if i remove the wires To check the floats i assume i have to strip the carbs down? Making a bit of a screeching noise from the right hand side too, not sure how clear you can hear it, you can hear it clearer from the front... Running (Dies if i let go of throt...

There are solid ones for some reason
