That sounds SO wrong : :lol: :oops: ;)

Anyone got a spare paper gasket for a 34 pict 3, its the 1 that fits between the top of the carb and the body of the carb. Dont really want to spend £20 on a full kit just for the gasket. EDIT:- Need ASAP

Just replace the solenoid there is nothing that can be done to recondition it (apart from cleaning the terminals up) and ususally its the solenoid braking down (its only a coil) that is the issue with hot start problems

I'm having a few issues of my own :lol:

An MOT is the easy part, fix the chassis / sills, adjust the brakes, NO EMISSION test so just get the engine running and driving it there is enough, all electrics working job done, doesn't make it safe though! But dont let ozzy put you off (he has issues with Stella :lol: ) go and have a good...

If you post up where you are someone might be able to go along with you and have a look.

Definately looks like a 71 (my old van was also a J reg Sept 70 so a '71 model / year) If it needs an engine you are looking at close to £2k to buy a turn key (fit and go) but the engines are easy enough to rebuild if your confident enough with some spanners. As for the body work / welding think...

I'm not selling this but thought someone might be interested in it. '71 Converted ex-panel van RHD http://www.volkszone.co.uk/VZi/showthread.php?t=716079 Its my old van but all questions need to be directed to the owner / seller via VZi. (I will help out with any questions that i can) Also...

Bottom end almost complete, didn;t realise that a crank oil seal isn't part of rebuild gasket kit :oops: so need to order 1 of these. Still trying to decide whether to build with single port or twin port heads, occasionally think single as i have everything i need but then think twin to uprate...

Well i cut the bearing off as i was replacing it anyway and used a 3 leg bearing puller. To refit it i boiled the kettle dropped the gear into the hot water, had a cup of tea, and then dropped the gear into place, it needed a little help from a hammer and a punch but nothing major.

Have a look at easy's thread in the gallery, he has wrapped his exhaust and heat exchangers.

I'm currently completely rebuilding the engine, there were loose bolts on the heads, on the engine case itself, the rocker arms so decided to strip and fully rebuild it with new bearings.

Yes deffo sounds like a regulator is required, not to sure that a type 4 alternator regulator is the same as a type 1 regulator though (i take it you do have a alternator and not a dynamo?)

Standard brake horse out of the factory was 50hp ( i think) As you've already said twin carbs and an exhaust to match are the easiest ways, after that then its bigger cc's but this means machining the case and heads for bigger barrels and pistons, a different cam can help but it all really...

Have a look under No1 / No2 cylinders (RHD side as looking at it) if the thermostat is there then you will be able to see it. there is a bracket that screws onto the case that holds the thermostat in place, the bar then up through the heads and connects to the flaps inside the fan shroud.

Most SVDA's are set to 7.5 deg BTDC with vac hose disconnected AND BLOCKED. In all honesty though you need to know the dizzy number (205**) and then have a look at the old volks home web site and set it accordingly. Electronic ignition does not effect the timing settings it just gives you an...

I got mine (before selling it again for the same price) for £500 second hand.
