Weber ICT 34 Carbs

Hi everyone

Just got a set of ICT webers and it’s being fired to a 2.0 CU engine.

Has anyone any pictures of their set up in their vans?

I’m not happy with the throttle return and want to see if there’s a solution or if I’m missing something

Cheers

Re: Sloppy gear changes

Try brickworks.

There should be a kit available I got one and it made a huge difference to the van.

My 2 cents are the bush the shifter rod goes through is worn giving the sloppy gear change.

Re: Aircooled Alternator blower

The housing for the fan is on the new alternators as it’s the only way it can be attached to the engine. As far as I’m aware the pulley on the new alternator will not accommodate the original blower so I believe there’s nothing inside the housing. This cannot be good for an air-cooled engine surly t...

Aircooled Alternator blower

Been looking at getting a new alternator. I see Slaughter house customs have a upgraded one for the Aircooled engine. See below pic from their website.

Re: SHC dash PCB upgrade with Tach for Aricooled!

Yes it is. It includes a digital gps speedometer which I think is great also.

Having a tach on air cooled would be so helpful.

For £399 I think it’s very good value!

Re: Aircooled engine flap

Thanks so much Sarran,

So as is on my van they shouldn’t do any damage or cause excessive heat in the position hanging free?

Aircooled engine flap

Wrecking my brain here. 2.0 CU for reference This flap is disconnected I believe it’s for starting in colder climates to keep the heat around the engine and as it heats up the spring expands and let’s cool air around the engine at operations temperature. Which way should it be https://uploads.tapata...
