Removed carbs and stripped down, fuel still in the bowls, needle valves not stuck but one of them did not have the retaining clip which connects to the float. Submersed floats in water - no bubbles. Replaced 175 needles with new 150's, the new ones have metal clips whereas the old ones had...

As above, change the rear coupler as well.

New 150 needle jets arrived today. Waiting for a break in the weather so I can remove the carbs and investigate.

Today I noticed a smell of petrol around my 71 bay. Checked al the usual stuff, fuel pipes connections etc. all dry. I pulled the dipstick and it was covered in petrol. Drained the sump and after the oil a lot of petrol came out. I have never had this happen before. My engine has an electric...

The Hex bar setup has nylon bearings at each end, also I think there is an adjustment for the end float of the bar. Check that this isn't too tight because when the engine compartment heats up it could be binding.

I don't know why you are finding these difficult, JK, Custom & Commercial, GSF to name a few all have these...

Also looking to do this. Had all the bits and pieces to complete for a year now, just never got round to doing it. Hoping to do it soon, will take pictures...

Our 2 boys were in there 30's when we got our bus in 2011. However, the reason We got a bus was because my youngest lad already had one. We went to stay with them and had a trip out in the bus, I fell in love with the idea immediately which is strange because I couldn't stand camping as a...

Good place to start would be by checking the valve lash, that could be the clacking sound you are getting. Also check timing. Need a bit more info on the carbs before trying to diagnose the petrol smell, are you running a standard fuel pump, ICT's don't like too much pressure.

If you are still having over heating issues, I went through the same thing with my engine which is a very similar spec to yours. I fitted a larger external oil cooler which made no difference. Eventually I resolved the issue by setting the timing to 28 deg at full advance (don't forget to...

I'm running 185/70/R15 all round. My speedo is a couple of miles out at low speeds but spot on at 50/60 according the the Satnav.

So where is the "new" place to drill and tap?

Anyone fitted a Lithium leisure battery? What (if any) other bits of kit need to be fitted to maintain it's charge? Thanks...

pierrox, went back to basics. Checked what the static timing was with the vacuum advance blocked off, seems to be around 5 deg but not worried about what it was, just curious. Set the max advance to 28 deg. Took carbs off, set the idle screw to 1+1/2 turns in. Set the mixture screw all the...

I think I have finally fixed the overheating issue. After much trial and error, finally come up with a combination of timing and ICT adjustments that seem to suit my 1776. Took the bus out for an extended run in 28 deg heat yesterday and the temp got to just a smidge over 100. Really hoping...

K@rlos, I don't mean to be disparaging but I don't think an engine would run very well with 29 BTDC at idle (i'm sure that was a typo) Yes 29 BTDC at 3000 revs. Today I took out all the spark plugs (no mean feat with twin carbs). No fowling of any of them and all whitish, so still baffled by...

K@rlos, I apologise I looked at a diagram of a 48 and there is only 1 main jet.

Timing is set to 29 deg BTDC. Compression ratio is 7.5 Tinware is all fitted The Air Corrector is set to what someone on this forum recommended. I changed the Idle Jet to 57 as the engine was hunting at 30mph in 4th gear. K@rlos, you say you have 155 main jets in your 48's, but aren't those...

Looks like something Lewis Hamilton would wear...

My 1776 has been suffering with overheating for a while. I have added an external oil cooler but this has not really helped. Engine is running twin ICT34's with the following jetting: idle jet 57 Main jet 160 Air corrector 180 Emulsion tube f6 Float jet 150 The spark plugs (NGK...
