Not running on Petrol

Hi guys, Van is running great on LPG, but if I switch it to petrol no response from throttle and slowly runs to a stall. As if there is a blockage.. Had trouble buying LPG today so I ran out of gas about 5 miles from home knowing that it wouldnt run on petrol (yes I know I should have sorted it). So...

Re: Condensation in Engine Bay

I have similar problems & always assumed it was condensation in the distributor cap. Mine usually starts but does not run on all 4 cylinders until it has been running for a few minutes. Never have the problem once it is warm or during summer months. I seem to remember other threads about this &...

personally id sort the petrol filter out or whatever is causing the issue and try start it on petrol and see how it runs then. :ok

good call

Condensation in Engine Bay

Hi guys, any advice here. Van is a right pig to start in this cold and wet weather. I looked at the HT leads this morning and there was water on it. Not from the coolant. Its all over the engine bay. Once the van warms up runs fine, but first 10 mins in morning is a nightmare. Backfires and splutter...

Re: Dash woes... Hardwired to self destruct

Hi - I feel slightly responsible for this one !! Sounds like all of the items driven by the 12V line have stopped working but not the items driven by the 10V regulator i.e. the coolant guage (which itself is powered by the 12V line)  - so a little strange; If the coolant guage works then there must...

Re: Fiamma Carry Bike

Everything should be tight, well it is on ours. Not helpful I know but I took ours off last week and it went back on ok. I just have some thick(ish) bits of rubber inside all the brackets to save the tailgate paintwork a bit. How much play have you got? David. Very loose. Tightening the bottom brac...
