Hi all. how can I check what power my starter is pulling when cranking. If it’s cold I’m not getting 12v to the coil if it’s warm then it starts ok with only a very slight drop to the coil. It seems to only have happened since I’ve done a few mods to the engine e.g 1641 jugs, full flow, 110 cam...

If it is juddery low down the rev range but takes off when you floor it try putting larger emulsion tubes in the carbs it will give it more fuel and make it drive better I just had a similar problem with mine. Also did you break it in at 2000rpm for 30mins? My build was 1641cc full flowed...

No coil was fine I fitted a relay on the stater and it’s been fine so I can only assume it was to much resistance on the starter wire

Thanks for the reply Dave it’s sorted now pal

Sorry just realised what I’d put sparkywig. it was registered early 71 narrow stud Pattern so would have thought it would have been made late 1970 pal but now I know have many splines to count. 👍 If I want to lower it 3” same as it was on horseshoes do I get 3” adjustable spring plates or do I...

Thanks for the replies all. much appreciated I’ll count them first then. but I’d have thought I’d need new shocks though cause the travel is shorter but I’m useless at owt like this :oops:

Hi all I’ve got 3” horseshoes on the back of my 71 bay its an early 71 and I want to change them to adjustable spring plates but not sure which ones I need. Also do I need new shocks as well any help would be great. Thanks

Hi all me again trying to keep you all busy answering my questions :lol:. I did have the dreaded hot start problem van starts fine cold but hot not a chance. I thought the problem was the ignition so I installed a start button and relay but that didn’t fix owt so when it was hot I still had to...

Thanks for the pics it really helps 👍👍

Sorry for the lack of info my heads a shed as usual. it’s a 1641cc with a standard fuel pump pal

Hi all I’ve got twin carbs on my bus and whilst I’ve got the engine out I want to run the fuel pipe behind the tinware to make it look neater. Where do you run yours and what do you fasten it to please do you use cohline fuel pipe or metal with cohline at either end thanks Phil

Evening all. just putting my bay back together and I thought I’d put a new battery on it.the one that’s on it was borrowed and knackered so could someone tell me the correct one please as I’ve googled it and the only info I could find reckons 35amp :shock:. Secondly I’m putting a filter king...

Hi I used seals from dormobile and was going to fit them my self but a chap near me is a vw fan and the manager at my local national windscreen centre I took it to them and they charged me £40 for both windows and guaranteed no leeks. That was a couple of years ago and they have been fine 🤞

My cohline pipe is now in its 10th year I still check it twice a year and still not a crack in sight 🤞and I got a new length of pipe that I’ve had for 5 years still in its wrapper ready to replace the old stuff 😂😂😂😂

I’ve got 71 dorma with a 1641 in it I’ve taken the engine and gearbox out to sort a few oil leaks and to do a few tweaks( eg new cam slightly porting the head etc) and to sort the rust out above the gearbox area so .......... my gearbox has always whined slightly which has never bothered me but...

Hi all I wouldn’t tap into the center pipe unless it’s very well insulated because you’ll lose a lot of heat and your heater will run flat out and flatten your battery really quickly and use a lot of fuel, I have a dorma with a diesel aberspacher and mine is in the cupboard infront of the rear...
