    Parts Wanted Insulation for heater tubes

    Have you considered using the old type of hessian pipe lagging 2 inch wide then going over it with foil insulated tape ( Screwfix) Did mine 3 years ago and still fine…much cheaper as well!

    Servo problem with new Weber ict 34’s

    Yes, my error …meant manifolds not carbs :rolleyes:I also have the 123+ distributor. All I can confirm is that it didn’t work with the T but worked fine with the single take off, why I don’t know.

    Servo problem with new Weber ict 34’s

    It was T’d off the balance pipe. The pipe went between the carburettors as advised per spec. There was no need for any drilling .The set up was not bought as a cheap off the shelf kit. Balance pipe worked well for balancing the carbs but the T produced way too little “ suck” to activate the servo.

    Servo problem with new Weber ict 34’s

    Update. My engine is S/P and somebody on late bay suggested this may have given rise to the problem with a “T” off the balance pipe?

    Servo problem with new Weber ict 34’s

    Yes, the photo was taken before the servo pipe was attached.It located onto a barb that was inserted into the blankedoff point shown on the front of the manifold ( to the left of the spark plug cable with 4 white lines . I‘ll try to get an “after fitting “ photo later.

    Servo problem with new Weber ict 34’s

    All sorted. “ T” from balance pipe removed with pipe left serving carbs only. New servo feed taken off front of L/H carb and …Hey Presto ! As Ozziedog put it I can now drive like a lunatic……and stop.;)

    Servo problem with new Weber ict 34’s

    I’m pretty sure that all was connected up and hopefully the valve is in incorrectly and / or not working. Id rather not say who installed, the reason being that they have done a great job ( the servo notwithstanding) and it would be unfair to appear to criticise when it may be a simple human...

    Servo problem with new Weber ict 34’s

    Funny you should say that…That was exxxxactly how I felt going up the first hill, began to question my godly gift as I approached the roundabout at the bottom at speeds I hadn’t reached since my R4 GTL.:LOL:

    Servo problem with new Weber ict 34’s

    So similar to what has been done on mine?…perhaps it is the valve :unsure:

    Servo problem with new Weber ict 34’s

    So…just had new twin Webers ICT 34’s fitted. Engine runs perfectly, really pleased. Only problem is whilst oomph has increased by perhaps 30% my brake efficiency has decreased by about the same %. So now great up hills but panic going down them(n) The carbs have a balance pipe fitted T’d off to...

    1970 westy roof canvas - which brand?

    I fitted a new one from NLA. I have a 71 Westy which had the original canvas on. The new one was a perfect fit , and as good a quality as the original with 3 windows , all zipped with nets and the rear one with the opening panel. I took the roof off to make it easier and lined the fibreglass...
