Cheers for the link.... I used this photo but it doesn't show the connections on the inlet manifolds and carbs..... does anyone have one so I can see if I've connected up correctly?
Thanks
Gareth

HELP PLEASE! Engine swap advice needed (CU engine)
Hi all, I have swapped the CT engine out in and replaced it with the CU engine. All went well but I've got a few problems with the vacuum hoses and where they go & the carb and inlet conections. Has anyone got a photo of a CU engine all conected up? Preferably without the airbox on? I've trauled...

OK..... I'm now convinced that 2L Aircooled is the way to go. Hence forth I'm looking for a good condition CU engine with tinware, exhaust, heat exchangers, etc..... basically complete (preferably with gear box). I know George up in Scotland has one available available but the distance from me is a ...

Thanks for the offer.... I'll give you a shout if I'm struggling! I have been busy looking up the process of converting to the DG engine..... I must say i'm still quite tempted to give it a go! I've always been a sucker for a bit of a challenge!!! :shock: There's a seller on ebay who's 10miles down ...

Well.... the plan is to fit a replacement engine myself. I'm pretty practical and good with mechanics. I've pulled apart larger more complicated engines and removed and refitted engines (however I do not claim to be in any way an expert!). I actually quite enjoy it! (more fool me!). The plan before ...

hmmmmm..... more work than I originally expected!!! Time is of the escence and hence it looks like this would be a step too far! Working on quite a tight budget..... At present we could stretch to £400 for an engine and box. What ever goes in has to be reliable and have a bit more muscle that the 1....

Swapping 1.6 CT (Aircooled) for 1.9 DG (watercooled).
Hi all, Firstly.... thanks to everyone for being so welcoming to us yesterday at Dubfreeze :D . We are disappointed that the camper never made it and that we missed out on a night of camping and getting to know you all! Maybe the camper will make it to the next one (fingers crossed :? )! Thanks for ...

Engine questions... advice and discussion welcomed!
Hi all, I posted recently about a loud knocking noise on starting up my 1600 Aircooled CT engine. The noise disappeared after a few minutes of driving and hence most people were of the opinion it was a leaky tappet. As advised I did an oil, filter and strainer change and flushed the engine at the sa...

Knocking noise on start up (1.6 CT engine)
Hi all, I have just purchased a 1980 Type 25 Hi-Top camper. It has the 1.6 CT engine which appears to be difficult to obtain info or parts for! The engine is a re-con unit with 1500 miles on it. I have noticed that when I start it up there is a knocking noise with the engine under load. It's quite l...
