    valves giving grief

    Removal and replacement of indicator stalk

    my stalk has nine wires but the bus only has eight so i used trial and error by joining the different wires together until i found the right combination. Not ideal but it worked. The other way would be to use a multimeter, not very expensive and cuts out all the guesswork.

    Windscreen rubber

    When i restored the van the only rubber that wasn,t replaced was the windscreen rubber.We did buy a new rubber but the glazier couldn,t get it to fit so put the old one back. I put a bead of mastic round it and its been ok.

    Ignorance on twin carbs

    Am perhaps looking to upgrade to twin carbs when funds allow but they all seem to come with no cold start system or chokes. Can someone tell me why this is and how you go about starting from cold.
