Re: Engine will not rev

Taken fuel cap off but still the same, but what we have noticed is, when you start the engine it will rev up for a second and if i hold the throttle down and turn the ignition on and off it will rev up each time, could this be electrical and what part of the electrics should i be checking ???

Broke down going to Glastonbury ????

Just got back from great week at Glastonbury, but poor old Moby let us down 3 miles from the festival site. We had no problems all the way there, crusing at 65 - 70 on the motorway, but when we hit the traffic near Shepton mallet we started having problems. When we were going up hill at a crawl the ...

Re: Need a garage with rolling road to set Carbs

Thanks for the replys, but i didn,t get a chance to set the carbs before Glastonbury, and paid the price, as we broke down 3 mile from the farm :cry: and had to be towed in.
Looks like the best solution is to replace the twin solex for the single webber conversion.

Need a garage with rolling road to set Carbs

I am looking for a garage in the Warrington / manchester area that can set up and tune my Carbs on a 2.0 l air cooled 81 T25. I have been told, to set them up correctly the bus needs to be run on a rolling road to set the carbs under load condition.
