Just got to look at the starter motor now as making strange noises. Need to check Bush and wiring etc. Might need to take it out and clean it

Well hey ho i nailed that parrot to the van and zapped it. Yes I got her started. So at the end of the day new points dizzy and new coil plus a new battery in for good measure. Just need to tune her up then I can get to work on that inlet manifold and maybe, maybe eventually that carb??? Cheers for ...

Right can't find anything you mentioned. Could you send links to online shop parts for those
Cheers my man. Hows the carbs coming

Tried the fuel trick but no joy not even a cough. I'm in agreement that it is timing or ignition related. Don't forget I had a electronic dizzy in before and same issue so don't think it is dizzy gap related. I'm getting a new battery to help any ways tomorrow as the old one has had it I think now. ...

Hi again. Not using the Hall effect any more. Using a condenser dizzy. Replaced old electronic dizzy with a points one but still same problem. It was cheap and worth a try. Check power on coil - good Placed light tester on the neg coil terminal and checked that the points are opening and closing - c...

Everything is working as it should ie carb fuel pump coil starter etc
Put new dizzy in but turns over but not firing

So tried putting another dizzy in and I still can't get her to turn over.
All things check ok. Fuel air spark but will try spark again tomorrow
If no spark what can it be if I have already tried a new dizzy
Coil is fine

Hey Sarran. Did you get all my bits aka the two parcels? Anyways..update on the van. Opened up the carb to check for fuel. Jet is pumping fuel into front chamber. Fuel is going into float chamber at back and everything seems to be flowing as it should. So pump good carb good me thinks. Back to the d...

Pump good but will check carb

Merry Xmas - bored yet? Well here is a teaser for you. Just got the van (1983vw t25 ct 1.6 Aircooled petrol) towed back from the garage. It wouldn't start. Tried to turn but not firing. All the usual suspects have been checked. Fuel good Spark good Compression good Battery, alternator and starter mo...

Hi all. So, can you adapt the fittings of the carb + manifold to accept different carbs ie, I have a Solex 34 Pict4 carb on a ct 1.6 Aircooled petrol engine. But getting aprts is apain, so can you adapt the fitting to accept a eg, 34 pict3? Lot easier to get hold of? Probaly require refabricating I ...

Hi Sarran1955. Just to say I managed to get the old carb up and running but will always keep your offer in mind. I still have a few 34pict4 carbs left for spares. There were a couple of spots of oil on the road but were sorted with new seals in the Rocker covers. It would seem the oil has leaked ove...

Two tonne ramps might do it then. Anyone in the Edinburgh Lothian are fancy a job?
