i bought the van with the engine running bad eventually it gave up the ghost and i found that a valve in no1 cylinder was bent i replaced all valves and rings
the vacuum is on master carb and link bar but wheer should my breathers go or are they ok like this?

Hello.

The easiest way to do this is to get it set up and running correctly is on petrol first, then look at putting the lpg back into action.

There is so much bling on your motor that its hard to see what is going on.

You will have to invest in 4, 6, 8 mm braided pipe, 1 metre of each, screw clips to match, dizzy and coil as per previous posts.

You will have to take down the carbs and check the settings.

You will need a bench and a carpenters vise, and a good light.

Oh yeah, and tins with masking tape labels for all the blingy bits

Are you prepared to invest £50 in a set of vacuum gauges and an electronic rev counter

It only gets better,

Have you watched the videos

Cordialement,

Hello again ordered a rev counter but im stuck on what vacuum gauges to get as so far i can only find ones for bikes. Will that do?
Also i have just bought a set of carbs that are off a good running bus (only removed to fit webbers) so when they arrive i will fit them .
Today i fitted new lifters and pushrods but still to no avail.
A little glimmer of hope though. If I remove no 3 and no1 plug lead when I re-connect no3 it pics up slightly also I rev the bus with all leads on it picks up ok (ish)
if I remove no3 lead it coughs and splutters then pics up? So it is running on no3 but weired how it makes no difference to the running when the lead is removed at idle?
Also with the Bling! is that the pancake filter and the breather filters? if so im waiting for the original air box to come with my carbs
Thanks for your time and interest.

just about to order the new distributor will i need to change the coil? its a brand new bosh one i have on now

Hello,

A 2 dial vacuum gauge set up for motorbikes is ideal, (its what I use) about £25 a pop.

I have used this guy for dizzys and coils.:

You can contact him and he is very helpful., for your coil.

I'm glad no 3 cylinder is chipping in.

If you are sure that you have your valve timing right, then we are looking now at setting up the timing correctly.

Right got to domesticate now.

Can you pm me with a uk landline number, preferably with a cordless phone that reaches to the van!!

Cordialement,

hi again good news...... the van is running on 4 cylinders
i put the replacement carbs on today and it ran straight away. I have got my new dizzy but have not fitted it yet you mentioned setting the timing up different with this dizzy? how should it be done? also my blingy air filters will these be ok? and what about my breathers as at the minuet i only have 2 breather filters one on the carb and one on the crank case thanks for all the help guys

Hello,

Photos of new dizzy please.

Got your timing light, tippex,and new vacuum hoses yet?

Can you give me a landline no?

Cordialement,

hi i have hoses, tipex and a timing light can you give me a heads up on what to do etc and ill get everything ready for a call








thanks again

Hello,

Erm..... a SVDA dizzy looks like this:

Thats why its called a Single Vacuum Diaphragm Advance distributor.

You've got an 009 copy, which is great for engines under fixed load, eg water pumping, or on a dragster beetle where you put your foot flat to the floor when the last red light goes out.

Not , however the best option for you.

Ring Simon and explain, plus you want the coil to go with.

Never mind, you'll find something else to do this weekend.

Me its still recommissioning the brakes on son's T25.

Cordialement,

hi again today this arrived




so how do i fit? Do i now need to remove the existing wiring for the distributor etc? is the set up of timing etc any different? where do i take the vacuum from and what do i blank? So close now soon be able to drive it
thanks again

Hello,

Thats more like it.

This will be relatively easy to fit.

You will need to recover the locking clamp from the original dizzy.

As above, have you got your landline and tippex ready.?
