1984 1.9 water cooled hi top. Choke/stalling issues
Posted: 26 Jul 2020, 19:31
Good evening ladies and Gents.
I’m new to club8090 and you’ll have to excuse my ignorance as first forum of any sort but what I’ve seen from the posts it looks like you guys are doing a great job keeping the less informed rolling. I’ve just purchased my first camper. It’s a 1984 1.9 water cooled petrol hi top. It looks like various repairs have happened externally but as far as I’m aware is pretty original on the inside. I’m having starting/stalling issues when cold and warm and have read various threads but am wondering wether I need to jump straight in and remove carb? It doesn’t look original it has the same pancake as I’ve seen on various vids of same engine but it looks like it’s stamped Weber on the side of it which I’m guessing isn’t original. Would it be ok if I post some pics? Some of the van itself to see if any of you recognise the conversion company/model as there is no decals or anything and two of the engine/carb to see if there’s anything I need to look at properly. Sorry if I’ve posted in wrong area like I said I’m new to this. I am a refrigeration engineer so understand compressors but carburettors especially old ones I’m relatively novice.
Many thanks for your time.
