    engine cutting out

    and as i said on your other thread, if you wanna meet up for a bit of a conflab to run you through the basics just holler - you can't be far from me, alternatively get yourself to techenders 13 sept onwards.

    engine cutting out

    realistically the fuel filter should be between the tank outlet and the fuel pump so crap can't get into the pump, also the fuel pressure is less there and so there's less chance of the fuel filter splitting - imagine the filter splitting inside the engine bay and dripping on the hot engine, it...

    engine cutting out

    the picture you posted is of an upright type 1 engine which is possibly 1584cc or 1641cc i guess it may be 1776cc if it's been fettled - i'm not an expert on type 1's - but one thing for sure it's not a 1700.

    idle jet is in the carb, air leaks could be a cause as said, did you check all hoses - not petrol ones air ones in and around the carb to the dissy etc?

    engine cutting out

    if it was a fuel starvation problem it may be worse under load, it could be a blocked idle jet i guess? does the van have a choke fitted? does it run ok on choke if so? or is it something as daft as low tickover that needs adjusting? all these things plus timing need checking, what you say is...

    Why oh why, words escape me

    and indeed many a rotten panel and window frame i'd guess! personally i wouldn't touch one but i suppose if you could buy it cheap enough and re fit or repair the front clip it would actually make more financial sense than buying a "normal" one as it would probably put most dubbers off so there...

    Why oh why, words escape me

    there was a company years ago called "baysplits" it's a fibreglass front that goes over the original...... i suppose it fools joe public but christ on a bike how any dub owner would do that is beyond me.

    '68- Unique?

    probably asked a million times..... but here goes, what age is the build date of the earliest early then? built around june/july for release august 67?

    '68- Unique?

    if when i get one i'm completely anal about it i'd like a May 68 as i want one exactly my age but i suppose realistically after august 68 up until 31 december makes more sense for parts....... so F reg and some G reg's are 68 then.

    '68- Unique?

    am storing lots of info as i've probabaly bored you all to death saying a million times i'm gonna get me a '68.... i can't bring myself to sell my late (right now but never say never) so once the loan is paid i'm gonna have another loan and buy one.... **** it your a long time dead.
