with the dollar rate as it is now gowesty bits n'bobs are cheaper than they were :D Hi ya Skell, keeping well? I've just been looking at GoWesty stuff as yet again my 'pro' built engine is having another ***king fit :( Was gob smacked at head prices, same as JK rot, but does come with the hit of tr...

Weber is going to cost in the region of £250 unless you get lucky. Bolt on, claims BHP and MPG but I have not gone this route so can't comment. I've got a twin choke 40mm DCNF Weber on a one off manifold and now it's sorted is better all round compared to the stock Pierburg. Could talk to Laurie Pet...

panel van converted to hi-top camper

You might want to double check with AF about this. They refused to insure my bus either glasses value or agreed value as it was a home conversion. No amount of detail would sway them!!!

Just to bring this upto date in case it helps others. Following a load of odds'n'sods the beast appears to be happy again but the final clincher was to clean the idel jet ports a 2nd, 3rd and 4th time!!! Ripped down the entire carb, replaced gaskets, seals, all manifold gaskets, chokes balanced, jet...

Cheers Mr Onion. Just posted on BG, gonna be a roadside repair, uck!!!

Just checked for leaks on inlet system and can't find any so looks like top end off. Any one tried this in situe? Looks possible according to Mr Haynes but fiddly? Any advise before I rip it down?

Ah ah, knew there was summut I forgot. No 2, 3 n 4 were a nice light brown/grey colour. IIRC means good mix but No 1 was black and sooty, though not checked since todays tweak and thrash!! Can't decide if just unburt fuel building up or summut else. Appear to be no oil in zorst though (no blue grey ...

Have you got a spark on number 1 sparkplug Good question but not the problem, got a loverly fat one, spark that is. Tis stable too as used inductive strobe on No 1 lead when setting timing, no hint of drop out. Tis this thought what led to swapping dizzy cap, rotor and moving leads and plugs around...

The bus (2.1Mv, single DCNF 40) has just developed a grotty idle? Will idle for a few minutes then rollover. During the time it is running it hunts up and down the rev range before finally giving up the ghost. Couple of weeks ago chokes jammed on carp from unkown source and since carb strip and clea...
