According to the Haynes manual my timing should be set to 5 deg ATC but there's no way my engine will run set to this. If I set it to around 5 deg BTC then it ticks over ok but coughs and splutters on pull away. If I set it by ear and trial and error, I can get the van to pull away fine and the...

Mine is between the mechanical fuel pump and the carb, above the distributor, I've seen from another post it's not a good location :shock: Can someone point me in the direction of exactly the best location pls? Thanks

I've removed the oil bath air filter for cleaning and have a couple of questions: First of all there is nothing connected to the lever on the air intake flap. The Haynes manual says it should connect to the bellows thermostat that controls engine cooling flaps...I have no idea where this is or...

So I've read all of the set-up guides but having trouble adjusting carb correctly - Volume control screw is set 2.5 turns out - Bypass screw is set 2 turns out Engine ticks over nicely but when I pull away it splutters and tries to die, so I have to drop the clutch and rev the engine to get it...

I'm thinking of fitting an electric fuel pump. A mate has an old Comma camper and he recons it's transformed starting as fuel is available immediately but are there any disadvantages? Assuming it's a good idea; where is the best place to locate an electric pump and any recommendations for which...

Do these exist??? My early bay has late bay discs on the front and late bay drums on the back. I'd like to fit early bay steel wheels but obviously the stud spacing is wrong....any ideas?

Is it just me or does anyone else have trouble with the petrol pump keeping cutting out when filling up? Any advise welcome on how to prevent this happening pls as getting a bit peed off with it :x

I changed my gearstick to an EMPI short shift but it was difficult going from 3rd to 2nd, I adjusted the position of the base but couldn't get it to change down nicely so I'm guessing the bushes are worn on the shaft. Anyway I put the big wobbly gearstick back on but could only select reverse, I...

Has anyone got any pics of how they fitted their Blazecut pls? The instructions say to only use the supplied cable ties but was wondering about how ppl have connected to engine bay?

Has anyone had any experience of the Blazecut extinguishing a fire? I'm looking around at different kits and wondering what's the best option? Cheers

Does anyone know the diameter and length of the CV bolts please? I was going to replace the bolts and washers at the same time as the drive shafts but they're expensive from the dealers so was going to try and source them elsewhere. Thx in advance
