Manual choke....ah yes, I have seen one pic with a cable coiled up so now understand that. Can always remove it and call it an ICT then :lol: maybe that's what we get in the first place, a stripped down ICH.
Cheers
Is there a difference aside from the cut off valve and could I run ICH's anyway with the valves hooked up as the standard PICT c/o valve is?
Not sure why ICH's are cheaper yet have more 'costly' parts attached!!!
Thanks

Driving back from Lille some years ago in my pals Beetle we lost power into London creeping along at 10mph back to our S.E den. Discovered the engine bay lining had collapsed and was being sucked into the fan intake effectively closing it off. Result...top end rebuild and an appreciation of fan...
Only a single carb setup and slightly different symptoms. Loss of power uphill but with a jerk at low revs as power diminished. Dismantled/cleaned carb and very sprightly on takeoff and on the flat after but hit the hill again same old jerks and loss of power. Started to look at my electronic...
After the evaporation type that sits inside the buddy seat upright cabinet on the sliding door side and above the large water container. Has two sliding white doors and 3 large holes atop.
That looks like it has a roof cap as the outside rubber seal on pic and a Devon is the one that seals the roof to the fixed raised base in original guise. This pic suggests that there is an extra cap without seal. Further the underside beige panel is non standard, they were always white vinyl...
Did you time it?
If so, and if you used a timing strobe did you observe the pulley wheel notch actually advance when blipping the throttle? Sparkywigs suggestion that the baseplate is stuck could be the source of zero advance.
Have you connected or blocked off the carb breather pipe? If...
One original component I wasn't keen on keeping as it appeared to me that they have an asbestos inner lining, which would stand to reason since it is a heat component. I swapped them out for the ones you describe
Mine has a central detent which sets the heat so that you get flow up and down and out the walkway rear facing vents.
Not forgetting the lever that is situated in front of the driver seat/tub if it's a microbus/deluxe. This opens heat to the rear outlets.
With the H.E's constantly open fan...
I clamp the pipe as it leaves the tank (easy to get to) and drain the pipe at the carb into a beaker.
Draining the tank with a bit of fuel in will take a while as it feeds slowly. When I replaced my lines I didn't bother. I left a piece of old pipe, enough to give a good grip, off the tank...
