Hello all, at busfest today… Great weather and definitely lots going on. Worried about having an undervalued van and wondered if anyone was here today that can do a proper valuation. Guess need to be part of club admin or similar. Any thoughts?

Idle issues are normally just a blocked idle jet, easy to get to on rhs off carb, make sure you don’t short the battery connection on alternator undoing it. Just blow through with carb or brake cleaner. Unlikely to be the cause of other problems but noticed the vacuum line to dizzy is just a...

Yep this ^^^

Agreed on conduit, I used some black 13a mains cable run inside. The only thing I regret is not putting in two as often want extra ways for Rev counter or oil temp/pressure etc. Just make sure to use grommets to stop metal chafing though cable jacket

I did a fair bit of research and ended up with cohline ethanol proof line. I was a bit paranoid about fakes so went straight to advanced fluid solutions. Bit more pricy but peace of mind. Was about £15 / m...

We’ve got Saab 900 turbo seats but I’d say they were annoyingly high, even on lowest settings, so wouldn’t advise. Friend has Mx5 and they are great

Hello, managed to get bus running better after blasting out carb Venturi holes with an air line. So went off on longer run at the weekend, 180 miles! Discovered a new slightly disconcerting sound. What I heard was a faint high pitched squeal. Only really present when lifting off throttle. Not...

Haven’t got a 123 but done a fair bit of research on curves recently. After finding my original had a missing advance spring… Curve E has a lot of mechanical advance 30 deg… If you think standard dizzy you would time to 7.5 deg and wouldnt want much more than 31 deg at 3.5k+ Vac disconnected.
