[QUOTE="StuF, post: 546133, member: 17262"] Hi all and many thanks for all the great advise - managed to spend a few hours on the bus over the last 2 days and appear to have resolved the situation. I removed the right hand carb and found the balance pipe tap from the manifold had pulled the threads out and wasnt making any sort of seal (EMPI metal appears to be made of cheese) - obviously creating a massive issue when under load, also two of the HT leads had seen better days and needed replacing. In-conjunction with this I also removed my malpassi fuel pressure regulator and put a direct feed from the fuel pump to a t-piece and off to the carbs. Been out for a drive this eve and it pulls like a train, revs cleanly and shoots up the hills like aren't there! Tomorrows job is to refit the pressure regulator and retest hoping for an unchanged performance - as there was a rather large BANG from my VS exhaust when I turned the bus off, obviously some unburnt fuel was pushed through due to the standard pump giving the carbs too much pressure! Bring on Dubs@TheCastle! 8) [/QUOTE]
