Thanks Oz, yep the fuel filter was the first thing I changed when it started happening. I will take a look at the camera thingy as the tank is highly likely to be original. I think it was also the bad dissy combined with some worn out parts and a dirty ish Carb that caused it overall...

To close this out, I cleaned and refurbed the carb and everything seems to be back to normal again with no hesitation and running well. Thanks for everyone’s help.

We have a Chinese 2kw heater, its great in the Spring/Autumn. The heater itself doesnt take much space and i have the tank behind the passenger seat next to the bulkhead. No smells. Its a game changer for colder camping and not that expensive/hard to fit.

Back to square 1 again, after the long test drive last week, we set off for Santa Pod on Fri morning and the hesitation was there straight away, this time it’s happening at any speed. Does anyone have any ideas as i am running out of them. Now my thoughts are that maybe there is some crud in...

I fitted a new Dissy, Cap, Rota, Condenser and Points over the weekend, re-timed it, and then took it out last night for a test and it passed pretty well. I was out in it for about hour and half and gave it a good run on dual carriageways, and i could only notice a very, very slight hesitation...

I did some reading/watching and am pretty sure that both should go to full advance when the dissy shaft is twisted and one side defo isn’t. Also, they both don’t move out at the same time and there is a lot of play so I am going to replace it and will add in the new points and condenser at the...

I pulled the Dissy out, it looks in pretty good condition inside. There are 2 weighted bits inside, i can lever one so it hits the stop [the one on the left hand side in the pic] but the one on the right wont hit the stop when levered with a screw driver. Is that normal? Is one for max advance...

I changed the coil for the old spare one and it made a big difference, i got up to the dual carriageway and cruised at 55 for around 4-5 miles with no issues so i thought i would push on to the hilly bits and then as going up a long hill the hesitation came back. I will replace the condenser...

I fitted the new fuel pump, push rod and gaskets and tested the pressure again and it was definitely higher, around twice as far as previously in the bottle test. I took it out for a test run this morning and the same issue is still there and seems to be getting worse each time as i didn’t even...

Not so far but i have a spare one so waiting to go.

I took the fuel line off to the pump and it’s coming out nice and fast so am going to get a new pump, Bakelite bit and pushrod tomorrow. Fingers crossed this will be it. I will update later this week when fitted and tested out. Thanks for your help!

Thanks Ozzie! I have just tried it and the fuel was squirting about 4 inches into the bottle from the end of the fuel line. It seemed to be coming out pretty well. Does that sound about right? And if it does, what do you reckon to try next?

Hi all!, I am having an issue with the engine and need some advice. So it drives fine around town but as soon as i get it onto the dual carriageway and the speed gets above 50 mph ish the engines starts hesitating and i start losing power. I have to drop the speed back down to the 40’s to be...

Black and white for me.

I have a full length rack and attached awnings to the gutter by cutting Figure-of-8 strips to the right size. Depending on which awning i used [had a few over the years] they didn’t leak at the gutter but the Khyam Motordome did. They really need to add a bit of material on the over side of the...

Try the ferries, they used to be a lot cheaper

They are.

Thanks for the update as this has been driving me mad the past few years. Will order some and get them fitted.

Merry Xmas All, and here is to a better 2022.

I used Vewib seals and they always fitted well. Just Kampers sells them.
