t25 coughing, spluttering and bucking intermittent fault!

Just as a matter of interest I was looking at this topic again when I realised that I had never posted a follow up to my comments in July. In the end I found that the filter that I had thought had been changed when I had the engine serviced had not been - therefore, a genuinely NEW filter solved the problem!!

hi sorry I should have said what engine! its a petrol 1900 1985 water cooled, not sure of the make of carb but mechanic says if it was crud it would be happening all the time. thanks for replying! deb

the mechanic is wrong.

It could be that the line into the fuel tank doesn't reach the bottom of the tank so I am keeping her topped up until the mechanic can sort that

There is no 'line into the tank' it is a metal outlet (and inlet opposite) that's a part of the tank itself. If that's really what he said your mechanic really DOES need a lie down ... under someone else's van

yes, sounds like this mechanic should be kept well away from T25`s
