Handle is currently vertical

Yeah, LHD, so right hand slider. I think it’d benefit from a new mechanism, but can’t find one anywhere at the moment

I do, but that didn't seem to make any difference. But I took the exterior handle off and when I put it back on, the lock freed up ... so all fixed now (well, pretty much -- the slider lock doesn't stay up -- to open the door I have to hold it in the up position and then crank the handle, but it was...

Hello clubbers I've got an issue with my sliding door. It opens from the outside fine, but from inside, the handle doesn't seem to engage the bowden cable - it moves, but doesn't achieve anything. The lock slider is stuck in a middle position, and won't budge. I can open the door by pulling the cabl...

Thanks ... I'll have to check with him. V hard to do this remotely ...

No -- it runs & idles, but won't rev properly. Says the dizzy hasn't been moved, so don't think the timing has changed
 

Hello, My van is in Wales for restoration ... that work is done now, and the guy doing the restoration is about to take it to get an MOT before getting it back to me. It starts, and turns over, but apparently won't rev -- he describes it as running flat ...  Last ran it a couple of weeks ago when he...

Hello hive mind... So, day two into a two week tour of Brittany and the van is playing up Aircooled 2.0l CU engine with twin solex carbs The symptoms: Hour & a half of driving the van started to feel as if it was losing a bit of power, particularly on long hills — like it was skipping a beat or ...

2.0l CU engine, electronic ignition Right... A look through old posts of mine will reveal that I've had consistent idling problems in the past. They've struck again on a road in France Engine was running beautifully until we did a long drive (5hrs plus) in hot weather two days ago. When we arrived t...

Thanks. Think I'm pretty much there now ...

Is airfix the place up Stanley pk rd? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's the place ... he told me he'd done a full tune up, timing etc on it. With the help of someone on this forum, I had a look at the carbs the other night. They weren't even close to opening together and, as for timing, god...

Yeah, that's the kiddie - the two holes have been epoxied up! IT says Idle enrichment, so it'll be adding fuel into the idle circuit - I've just taken a look at the spare one in the garage, and that passes air through it when it's cold, so I'd guess that allows fuel through normally, and then stops...

There should be three things connected electrically on the LH carb - two solenoids as seen, but also a rectangular device (idle mixture enricher) which is screwed to the side of the carb and has a spade terminal coming out of it. Item 2 in the pic below. If it won't idle at all, then I'd say you ne...

Some pics of what I'm working with, or attempting to: Clockwise, from top left: Dizzy, with blanked vac lead, loose lead from one of two solenoids on the left hand carb; right hand carb; airbox, with vac lead "fix" If anyone knows of a good mechanic in SE London, I'd be hugely grateful .. ...

1981 2.0l CU engine Morning I'm loath to start YET another carburetor thread, but I'm at my wits end with an idle speed problem that I just can't seem to fix/get fixed First noticed this last year -- when warmed up and decelerating through the gears at e.g. a roundabout or lights, the van would stal...
