    WITHDRAWN - 1970 Westy for sale

    After 10 years of having a great time at shows and camping, we are looking to sell our camper. The kids have got too big! She is LHD and had been imported from Ramona in San Diego County, California. Since I've owned her she has been maintained with no expense spared. We have upgraded or...

    Replaced the old engine with a Reconditioned 'Turnkey' engine from VW engine company. Went with a 1600 twin port.

    Front arches were replaced while she was in for the new beam. And the front was repainted as I wasn't completely happy with it.

    Cutting out for the first 10 minutes...

    Ok so it's sorted out. Turns out the carb wasn't up to the job. Got a new one fitted, bought it from Heritage (made in Brazil). Now it doesn't cut out at all.

    It's a 34 PICT 3. Funny you say that I was reading about the choke last night. I haven't adjusted it, maybe the coil inside needs turning to close the butterfly valve. Or it could be not working at all. I'll have a look and do some checking when I warm it up.

    So, the bus is starting first time and running at idle. I wait on the drive for a few minutes. Then I drive for 5-8 minutes and it cuts out when I stop at junctions. I stop, wait a bit and carry on and it doesn't cut out anymore. As it doesn't do it after a while, I guess it rules out a problem...

    Yes, not a bad idea, safer to let them know.
