HI Trikky Thanks - things move slow in these parts as you can see. I will check out vac off at high revs although I think I did try it .. btw should I set timing for 30degs max as per 009 ? On an allied topic I read through the dissy section in Seumes book last night and not once does he...

Scat C25 is somewhere between a w100 and w110 or so I believe. 'tis what I have.. Whatever you choose however note it will have to be broken in.. 15 heartbreaking mins with the engine running at half chat with no load.. JS

Pale blue to the roof 1970 H reg with Danbury pop-top. had some work done a few years back at 'Classic and Modern' on Windsor road started to get a bit pricey though.. Ken at Thompson Bros Kempston does my MOTs - great guy looks and sounds like Mike Reid (Eastenders not DJ !!) but harder ! Not...

Hi Zed Yep I can see that now - butterfly closed and all that right ? Any idea how I can test the effect of the suck ? When I tested it off the vehicle and provided my own suck it tiook some effort to move the plate so I imagine the vacuum off the carb would need to be quite strong and I...

HI All Eventually got the SVDA distributor fitted to the ICT carb set-up I have. Fitted Accuspark ignition in the end after an abortive try with points/condensor.. :? Fired up fine and I got the strobe out to fiddle with(sorry carefully adjust) the timing.. At tickover it's about 7.5 BTDC but I...

Hi Rich Being nosey but which garage in Bedford/Kempston do you work at ? Cheers JS

To get at the back manifold nuts on mine I found an old 1/2" AF spanner and cut it down so it would turn about 1/4 turn in the space available IIRC I also had to trim the sides of the jaws too. You will need vice and a grinder though to modify your tool.. ! Good luck JS

bl**dy hell - fetched over 2200 :shock:

Thansk for the cab pics - there's sure some meaty looking brackets for the cab bunk -not sure I would be up for welding them in myself.. Hmm chemical lavvy ? What's wrong with the seaside bucket that I get my toddlers to use ? :shock: Cheers JS

Can you tell if it's engine oil or gearbox oil ? JS

Hi all Went to visit the bus with a view to changing my 009 for a vac/mech dissy I 'found' i a box of parts - took it apart on Trikkys advice and all looks fine. Came to fit it and turned th e engine to TDC with rotor pointing to #3 before removing the 009 (approx 11 o'clock if looking from the...

Got a spare grand and somewhere dry to store it ? Is the current engine giving you concerns ? Then I would say yes - might try and beat the price down a bit.. and have you seen it running ? If all is good then keep it until .. a) you have time noney to fit or b) something happens to your...

Hi There Thanks for the pics, looking good - nothing wrong with drum brakes eh ? Can you show us some more on the cab bunk please ? 3 little ones => lack of sleep space ! Cheers JS

The blankings for the heat risers were supplied with my kit - forgot about the preheat hole though :oops: Cheers James

The linkages are in the kits, no tinware changes required. I fitted mine earlier in the year and I did fit a 'balancer' tube between the manifolds which requires some extra barbed fittings, drilling and tapping. This is not mandatory I understand. Eurocarb also allow you to select kits/jetting...

Tut, tut - what did we say about glittery parts just a few posts back :shock: - get thee behind me Satan !

Hi Al Sealing the edges that are open to air with PVA was one thought I had. Replacing it with an alternative or even breaking off a test piece might aggravate the situation.. If I hadn't bother taking it apart I would never have noticed and been in blissful ignorance I guess. I did read...
