Simple question.How do I swap dizzies.Have got 009 at moment but have aquired vac advance so want to swap.Will be replacing carb later(weber prog) but have heard that it can run with vac advance dizzy so thought i would try it out.Any advice/words of wisdom accepted. Thanks

can anyone help with this problem?My bus ('71 1600 TP 009 dizzy) will be driving along with no probs and then the voltage gauge will start jumping about.This occurs at the same time as the engine seems to be missing.Then just as soon as it started it goes away and returns to normal.I am trying...

Hi rusty don't suppose you mhave the heater controls (2blue,2 red)?

Afternoon all.I have a progressive fitted to my 1600TP with 009 dizzy and I am getting about 16/18mpg :shock: :shock:I have checked the plugs and they are very sooty (too rich) .I have tried to adjust the mix screw on the back(bas===d to get to) but got to the stage where I had unscrewed about...

thanks for all replies.have found out that I have a late type fuel vent system that exits to the petrol cap area.As for the smell,I am sure it is petrol but could be petrol enriched exhaust.Any body live in the banstead (surrey) area as help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

with regards to the smell,a friend had a look and spotted that there is a breather pipe (rubber) coming from the oil filler next to the breather pipe(metal) that is connected into the bottom of the air filter(aftermarket pancake style ontop of a weber progressive carb).He says that the pipe...

Sorry,didn't mean to sound stoopid when I said engine out.Obviously I am goin to replace all pipework that cant be done with engine in....might be able to check/sort out the progressive carb as well seeing that I will be able to access the mixture screw more easily as well as check the choke...

Thanks for the advice. Looks like engine out time. Still as its snowing now,can't see me using her in the immediate future.Happy Christmas all.

evening all.This might seem a daft question but why does my bus stink of petrol when the hot air vents are open but when closed the smell stops? I thought that only fresh air was drawn in through the blower and across the heat exchangers.By the way its a '71/72 crossover.

Evening all.Just fitted the vents on Mojo (f...ing ugly things but necessary) and need some help with a problem on the fridge.Does anyone know how long it takes for the pipes on the back to start to heat up on 12v as i think I might have a problem.Have posted on another forum (sorry) and am...

Hi Gerrard.Thats what I have done eventually.Problem was that the bends were quite sharp but got there in the end.Thanks for all your help.

More questions.Would the exhaust pipe from an eberspacher take the heat from the fridge exhaust.Getting quite desperate as wife is starting to chomp on at me

Hi all.Gerrard tried the copper pipe but I need to bend it quite tightly and the pipe collapsed.Will try the exhaust idea....now where is the telephone directory??

Evening all.I know I havee read about this somewhere but cant find it.I need to extend the length of my fridge flue but cant find anyone who sells the corrugated metal ducting I need (28-30mm metal)does anyone here know where i can get some.Only need about 12 inches or so. Ta for any help

Evening all. Need some advice on fitting a fridge in my bus('71).I will be using the gas so i know it needs to be vented.Got those and want to start work venting.The bus is empty at the moment and i will be insulating the panels.Read the advice from a camping shop and still non the wiser.Do the...
