Re: High speed kangaroo

Hi, I would look at the carb, assuming you have a Pierburg. Possible partial blocked main jet, not delivering at the higher end OR adjustment of the second venturi. Check out James Akers on you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKD6ci8o06w ''Stripping a Pierburg 2E3 Carb for Rebuild VW T25 / T3''...

Re: Starting and idle problems carb

Hi Mooney, Take the pancake cover off the top of the carbatooter and remove the idle jet, I'm sure it's the only one you can unscrew from the top (on a pierburg). Make sure you have a good fitting flat blade screwdriver so you don't break the jet. Once out blow through and look up the middle to make...

Try a centre punch instead of a chisel it will concentrate the force to a point rather then
along the chisel face. A blow on opposite sides to see how you go then maybe on the quarter

OR drill and tap the tube, then a small screw to pinch the plastic bit ?!

Re: Sliding door repair time. Any advice?

Hi Chewbacca, I've never been able to ''push'' the sliding door closed, it's always needed a run up. I think it's because off the small swing in at the back of the door for the lock to grab the peg, you need momentum for that to be forceful enough to overcome that change of direction as the back of ...

Re: Mushroom pop top

Hi Stu-cam

I think Sarran1955 just picked up what you are looking for from Titus in Germany.

There's a thread ''active member in Germany'' under general chat about it.

Seems that ajsimmo might have a mould for them....hope this helps

Re: Threshold strip

you could use Smoothrite......hammerite but without the hammered finish.. Did a M/C frame in it years ago and it
lasted well.

As they say the finish is in the prep.
