Hi club, After getting a new throttle cable over the weekend - I spent a bit of time under the van. I was looking at the path of the old throttle cable and started to fit the new one following the same route. I started at the back and worked towards the front. My old throttle cable goes above the fu...

Hi Club, My throttle cable snapped today. Whilst Im looking about for a replacement - please could someone look at the picture and tell me if the arm / lever that the cable attaches to is standard? http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q653/ps288/IMG_20151110_100952_zpssfvlvxvn.jpg as mine has a weber...

Does anyone think this page makes any sense?

The garage have fitted the pump near the tank - but Its still having problems. It will start then die so the garage thinks the pump isn't strong enough. They recommend trying to get hold of one with a bigger flow rate. The older pump I have seems to work a little better. Just wondered if anyone else...

Hi I've got a weber on my van (in garage at mo) I *think* im using the side port for the vac advance and rear connected to air box. Sorry no idea what jets its usings. Old pic when I was having some issues if its any help: http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q653/ps288/IMG_20151110_100925_zpst3ydgp3...

Thanks for the replies everyone - very useful info. I've ordered a new pump - as for £27 is a fairly cheap part and worth it for piece of mind. I'll keep the other as a spare. I think moving it is the best option - The Van currently has an immobiliser (which I have no idea how it works) which turns ...

thanks CovKid

thanks for the help - much appreaciated. Think Im going to buy one - just a couple of more questions :) NPT fittings - the pump linked doesn't come with any - so I guess I need 2x male 1/8 NPT with a 8mm diameter? ( i think thats what my fuel lines are) Currently the pump is located near the carb - ...

That's for the reply big herb I think the existing electrical pump is very generic so maybe unable to find any manufacturer specifications. Previously it had filled up a small cup fairly rapidly. But that's not a very scientific way of doing things. I will see how long it takes to fill a 5l petrol c...

Hi all My van has had some work done and is finally starting again :) I've taken it for a few runs to the local shops and back and everything seemed hunky dory. Famous last words. But.....when I took it for a longer drive and hit over 30mph Im having issues. It stutters and loses power. It will star...

Hello all, Just thought I would log another update. The mechanic did check the pushrods - but they looked ok. Hes taken the head off and the valve is fouled up. Its a friend of a friends garage , who is doing it when he has some spare time. Am hopeful the final bill will reflect this. :D Just a ques...

Thanks for reply. Will pass onto garage

Got the van recovered to a local mechanic.

He has redone a compression test and confirmed that there is no compression in one of the cylinders.

Next step is to take the head off to see what the problem is.

Ta.

Will double check first thing in morning.

Hi Ghost, I was wondering if it should still start even with no compression in a single cylinder. Its did not even sound like it was about to get going. Just the noise of the starter. I'll detail what I think the mechanic did whilst he was here looked at my carb and adjusted the float. then after tr...
