Re: No reverse in my 5 speed westy

I can get into first no problem, I'll double check but I literally just swapped every part of the linkage and 1st through 5th gear feel amazing. The reverse has been a problem that was getting worse and worse as time when on I had to slam it in reverse for it to engage but now nothing.

Re: Do I have the correct temp sensor? (83 westy 1.9dg)

Thank you so much. I just wired in a new dash with the SHC pcb kit so I don't think it is the dash leading me to think the actual sensor. The connection to the sensor also looks corroded so I'm just gonna swap it out since it's the wrong one anyway.

Speedo needle won't come off help

Hello, I have a 1983 westy (1.9dg) the speedo is removed and I am trying to remove the needle but it will not come off. I have been prying at this thing with plastic spudgers and flatheads but it won't come off. Is this normal? Is there a trick I am missing something?https://imgur.com/a/McHm5o0

Re: 83 1.9DG T25 engine idle issues.

Good news. After replacing the vacuum line from the dizzy to the carburettor it has ran without sputtering out so far. Still a few things I'm gonna replace since the engine is quite old and needs some TLC but I could not have gotten there without all of you guys!
