Thanks guys

Much turning over needed to pump it back up and restart. I've replaced the pump and the fuel line any ideas?

if you have a fat spark then hows changing for a crappy 009 gonna make a differance? I presume sparks are on the "non firing" cyls? at the lead ends? May sound stupid, but are you absolutely sure the leads are on the right way round? double check it.... like I say, cluching at straws with...

Depends really. I have a full width in my splitty which is great because I can get a 3 point seat belts on each side. However it's not a walk through so I have more storage there and it's mor of a day van with the odd overnight at shows. A 3/4 is more suitable for a 4 berth camper I think.

OK. I have 150-160 psi on all four cylinders cold. I have new leads, plugs, rotor and cap. ignition is electronic and i have a fat spark now. But still it only runs on 1&2 ? 3 & 4 cylider makes no difference if the leads are on or off or transposed. plugs look dry :? I've taken the carb off ...

So far I have tried: Checked for spark. 4 is a bit weak. checked the plugs. 3 and 4 are black but not really wet. subs...

Thanks for that. They want £150 each and I need 4 That's more than I paid for the van!!! Any other options

Hi all. Just got myself an 1980 Autohomes Kamper. My splitty's so low and the kids are growing so fast that it's just not viable as a camper anymore :cry: So when I heared of an MOT failure T25 I had to have a look.
