Mine does cut out sometimes for no reason at all then will be absolutely fine. Does sound like fuel from what advice you keep giving. Can anyone point me in the right direction of we're to buy from. What to buy and how to install as I'm no mechanic. I will try the fuel in the carb at the weekend. As...

I don't think the auto choke works 100% it's a little hit and miss. I try the half press and full. I did give it a squirt with easy start but still nothing, in the past I have changed the push rod and fuel pump. i think my first thing to try is to pour a bit of fuel down the carb. Should I do this b...

Cheers I will give that a go. When I do try and get her started that is one thing I can always smell is fuel but no bang. I will try it though.

Battery and starter motor turns over fine it happens in normal weather to. Just takes some firing up but once she fires and warms up everything is good. I had my Piersburg carb refurbished last year. Could it be leads, dizzy cap, spark plugs ?

Hi everyone, I seem to be getting problems starting my 1985 1.9 petrol engine when it's not been used for over 5 days plus. Once she starts everything is fine. She isn't getting used enough and noticed this steadily getting worse over time. Is it because I don't use her enough. Fuel is getting to th...

I know this has come up before but I could not find exactly what I was looking for. I need to adjust my accelerater cable I believe it to be slack and beleive it will improve my bus. We're abouts do I do this. I just need a bit of guidance. My engine is 1.9 petrol 1985. Many thanks

Looking at this pic Red cable to manufold heater at the bottom should be thermostatic switched circuit ( red wire from loom comes from relay in black box) along with the black wire just above it which is the part load duct heater. the cylinder above with a male spade is the bypass air cut off valve...

I have cleaned and fitted my carb back in with new breather tube. sorry I can't upload a photo as my photobucket app is not working. I have two cables that are not connected to anything. One is off the choke and the other comes off the carb they are both male type plugs. I started her up and went fo...

All bits now purchased and ready to start. Problem I now have the other half has got me decorating gggrrrrrrr..

Thanks for these pictures and advice the are very much appreciated. I would not have tried this without your help.

I have ordered the helicoil kit. Once they arrive I will start going through everything bit by bit and keep you updated.

yes the thread has totally been open up. no longer round nor would you be able to re thread it. do you think it would be better to fit the spare. in my picture you can see two of the studs in but the third is not there. gasket ordered to. cheers

Were would I get a gasket only from. The question I have is that one of the bolt holes on the top part of the fitted carb is totally shot. The bolt I mean is one of three that holds down the plastic housing above it. So should I fit the spare because of not getting a perfect tighten down seal or sti...

Good news I have the plastic link, removed and checked. It is all in one piece as your photo.

Just a bit more info for you. She always starts fine and does drive very well. Struggles a wee bit up hill. And only twice in a year it has stalled then couldn't start her up. It was like there was no fuel getting in. Only way I got he started was to spray some quick start down the carb until after ...
