Bus is running sluggish. Checked it was firing on all 4 cylinders and it appears to be running on 2 only. The two that are working are nos 1 and 2 according to the diagram in the haynes manual or the two on the right as you look into the engine bay. Checked the plugs for a spark and all ok so am assuming its a mechanical problem .Just wondered if anybody knows what it could be. thanks.
 
This might sound silly but have you checked your rocker? when i first got my bus i drove around for 6 months with zero power, it was only when i took off the rocker cover and the rocker fell out that i realised that i had a problem! If your running a single carb then a leak on the manifold joint can cause those cylinders to stop working as well.
 
Rocker seemed ok. Had the manifold boots changed a couple of weeks ago so will check they are tight tomorrow. thanks
