In case it helps with your future purchase: Back in August 2006 I bought an '81 Joker, 1.9 Petrol, Westfalia High Top conversion. It is a German import, LHD and ALL its bits are standard. as soon as I had the engine started I knew I was In love again. Tis that sounds you see, not scared to see it ac...

This post seems to have died and i did not get the names of the engines.

Does anybody know what Aircooled NA rngines are available. Although i love the Cu engine, it lacks a bit of power when on motorway.

I want to fit an Aircooled engine as i love the noise they make

Cheers

yeah so carbs are more fun, allow a cheap LPG conversion and given the fact that 2l CARB setups are still chogging on this planet, I would say it aint all that bad.

So there

lol tin top or hi top?

Mines a 1981 German Westy hightop. tis good space. in the winter the upstairs bed is a bit warmer and in the summer cooler downstairs. storage space! 2l petrol, 25 mpg, for a 25 year old engine i think that is pretty good.

you have been warned

If you wanna run on SVO or WVO, just declare it, reckon it is well worth it.

got the 2 liter Aircooled CU engine, german import.

25 years old and still goes like a bullet. Bit juicy though.

Make sure you can test drive and try all gears. (and brakes)

meant to last... as long as your sparks no?

hell, if the ignition is poor, change the damn thing, aint that expensive anyway!

What about Road tax.

LPG should lower your emissions and next to no deadly particles.

Seems like a flaw in the (tax) plan...?

Ah yes lotta noise, lotta dust when on cold. Switch it to hot, lotta noise, no dust, no heat either. mheh, justkampers sell a thingy that plugs in the ciggy lighter and produces warm air to demist windows, so if I am bothered I might try that. Otherwise the goold old sleeve wipe seems to do the tric...

Ben Thanks for the pic, that is some seriously clean engine. I hope this will help in my quest. 1) so the filter splits in 2 arms left and 2 arms right. The 2 arms are then joined into 1 piece, which fits onto the carb. Any idea what the piece is called? 2) The lower part of the air filter unit, has...

cah and carry on the web, you buy it in tins of 50 liter.

And remember it has to be used before you can use i as biodiesel, otherwise the taxman is going to hit you hard (at back pocket level)
