My 1982, 2 litre air-cooled T25 is causing me some problems. Since having its MOT when the engine is up to temperature and the van is being driven, under load, there was a backfire through the carburettor. In turn this would then blow the brake servo pipe off, killing the engine. You then couldn't d...

Ok I will have a look, I have a suspicion there could be a small air leak on the inlet manifold on that side. This could be contributing?
