Re: Starting engine from cold
Thanks David, useful thread. What still puzzles me is what part of the Auto Choke at cold closes the Choke plate, according to info depressing the acc pedal should do this, mine at cold start doesn't do this, although when warmed up it does open. It's the coiled metal spring in the choke housing wh...

Re: Carb Inlet Filter
Well, Gower & Lee came up trumps, I was able to get one from them, super service too. It is a tiny little thing (insert Carry On joke here) but I'm pleased to have got it. Thanks for the replies, appreciated as always, great forum. All the best.

Re: Carb Inlet Filter
You said you couldn't find it when Aidan put up the link. I was showing you where to find it. Just get in touch with Gower & lee. They are the go-to company for your carb. Or put an ad in the wanted section somebody may have a spare. That's right, I can't find it on the site, it doesn't seem to...

Re: Carb Inlet Filter
It's already been talked about but thank you. Any idea of anywhere else? Beginning to think it's an unavailable part.

Re: Carb Inlet Filter
I have changed the one at the tank, but I find it's still getting crud in the float bowl, so I would like the carb filter as it doesn't have one, and it should be there after all.

I have an Aldi torque wrench, it's incredibly good, like most of their tools are, honestly!

Re: WBX Cylinder Head Nuts Question.
Those bolts look great, you must be very pleased with how they have cleaned up. I often re-use old bolts and clean them up, not usually to that level, but there is something very satisfying about keeping the original parts going. And thanks for posting your methods Stu, was hoping you would do so, a...

Re: Accelerate - Stutter - Die
Thanks a lot for the replies and suggestions, certainly something to keep in mind. I am hoping that I've solved it, after cutting out again on another test drive, at the roadside I took the idle jet out again and blew through it which I've done before, but this time I also took a nylon strand off a ...

Re: Accelerate - Stutter - Die
Thank you David, I haven't looked at the ignition amp at all, based on what you said I have had a search on it on here and found lots of info, seems that a lot of owners keep a spare so that may be worthwhile. From what I have read I don't think it will be the root of my issue, but I'll certainly lo...

Accelerate - Stutter - Die
Hi, I'd like opinions on this issue if you could please. One day, van drives great, as normal, no issues. Day after, just a couple of minutes into the journey, stutters/stumbles on acceleration and dies. Would start again and idle but on pressing the pedal (just at a stand still) to rev it, in just ...
