    Carb and Distributer

    Unlikely, you checked the distributor cap is seated properly in the grooves? Sent from my Siswoo C55 using Tapatalk

    Which timing mark?

    Well, the max advance is actually when it stops advancing, so basically open the throttle until the white line at 30 doesn't move much in relation to the case marker. Its usually pretty obvious when it stops advancing. The dimple is nearly always TDC. So mark 46.5mm around the circumference from...

    Running woes. Long post sorry.

    It does sound like maybe the carbs are letting fuel in once they get warm due to excess fuel pressure (I.e. you need a fuel pressure regulator). Its probably dumping excess fuel into the barrels which is not being burnt and ending up in the exhaust. Eventually this volume of fuel is alighting...

    coolbox replacement

    Unless you get a very efficient Waeco compressor fridge, a 110amp leisure battery won't last more than a couple of days with the fridge on. Fridges use significant amounts of power. I'm not sure which fridge fits, someone else might be able to advise that; from what I've gathered there's...

    Electrical fault help need please

    Have you checked the bulb itself? Or continuity between wire feeding the bulb and the alternator? You might also find if you bring the revs up a bit, to about 1500rpm the alternator will begin charging. My alternator light comes on when you start it, but goes off and stays off once you blip...

    Electric Fuel Pump & Pressure Regulator Installs

    can't hear the Posi-Flow when in the van, I've got it mounted on some rubber bobbins too though. Bought my pump from JCC but Heritage sell the same one, my filter king is about 15 years old hence the differences. I made up a separate piece of fuel tube with a pressure gauge on a tee, I can...

    Electric Fuel Pump & Pressure Regulator Installs

    That's how I've got mine installed, on a piece of aluminum mounted to the LH side tray. Fuel pump mounted on the same panel, with a very short piece of flexible between it and the filter. Sent from my Siswoo C55 using Tapatalk

    Brake switches PTFE

    Yes because it stops the thread galling and any corrosion between the threads causing them to become stuck solid prior to adequate torque/turns being applied. Sent from my Siswoo C55 using Tapatalk

    Replacing Fuel Lines

    Oil smells of fuel

    I'm not sure if its a bad batch or just more fuel have higher ethanol contents in them, which is making the rubber diaphragms perish in no time at all(also, the rubber used is probably piss poor). I think this is even more prominent in buses that don't do many miles, if the fuel runs back to the...

    Replacing Fuel Lines

    As above basically. My thoughts would be use kunifer pipe for the majority, with short sections of bio-fuel hose at the connections or where some a flexibility is required. Second thing would be use decent hose clips on every connection, or decent jubilee clips(can't say I've ever had a...

    High Beams???

    I think the stalks are identical, the relay doesn't have the functionally. If the relay is one of the newer ones all you need is a jumper wire from the positive to the connection that is not wired on the new relay, Im sure that's what I did. Sent from my Siswoo C55 using Tapatalk

    Oil smells of fuel

    Or get an electric fuel pump and golf fuel injection relay. Installed a Facet Posi-Flow and filterking recently to my bus. Although you might not need the filterking if you pick the right pump output, I had the filter king in the garage anyway. The golf FI relay is activated by the ignition...

    Need help, Looking for Ebay user (sharonw3009)

    I think the main problem is that PayPal don't care.. Its an easy mistake to send the payment to the wrong person, irrelevant of whether its gift or not Paypal should be able to retract it... Honestly think they're must be a better way of paying people easily, cos PayPal's customer service is...

    Leisure battery wiring into Bus

    I would say run a wire to under the bed for the fuse box. Use a suitably sized wire and put a fuse just off the battery that is rated less than the rating of the wire. IThe fuse box is better under the bed, not just for convenience but because the engine bay can get a bit wet in places when it...

    Shocks bottoming out? Is that even possible?
