best thing to do now is to see if the hesitation /backfiring happens again, its going to be difficult to pinpoint a problem like that, until it actually becomes a fault, i would check the dizzy cap and rotor arm, plugs and leads and even get the carb cleaned (if its a carb model engine) it could ha...

Re: it seems to be running hot, should i worry?

i've got a gypo and it has a 16td engine in it and it seems to run quite hot, almost over half way on the gauge all the time (after about 5 mins of running!) good or bad thing? I always put the slightly higher temp in gipos-both mine and my mates both sit at about 2 mins past 12(if you know what I ...

Re: 1600 CT Aircooled engine, carburettors and inlet manifol

I have just bought a new lump for my 1981 Aircooled T25 camper. It is a 1600 CT engine from Big Boys Toys. I am having trouble finding carbs to fit this engine, I have been advised that there are no aftermarket carbs available for it and that only an original or reconditioned carb will fit. Firstly...

The fuel gauge stabiliser is behind the clocks, it looks like a spiky transistor with a self tapper holding it the housing and connected to the electrical ribbon. The fluctuating fuel gauge is one of the T25 idiosyncrasies. Tex Ritter Thanks-found it now-will try a new one see if it makes a differe...

Fuel gauge voltage regulator

The gauge on my bus behaves erratically depending on what revs i'm doing-sitting still will show 1/4 but as the bus gains revs/momentum it drops alarmingly to the otherside of the red :x sometimes-then back again as I back of the throttle-is there some sort of regulator that could be causing this-is...

I have a set of 14" by 6" wide (I think) standard steel 14" rims from a Syncro here that you're welcome to get out of my garden. They are the wider rims that were fitted with the 205 tyres. There are assorted tyres on them, but they're just littering up my garden at the moment. Alter...

look out for "deep dish" wellers, these fit the standard tyre, are made of the proper metal, and will give a wider "track" to yr van, making it more stable.... you should be able to get a set for £70 to £125 odd squid................. if they fit they should have 112x 14 stamped...

Syncro wheels

How much wider are standard 14" syncro wheels-been told they are wider than standard-looking to fill the rear wheel arches a bit more-have a Gipsy,on standard wheels looks like there aren't any if you know what I mean.Martin
