Early Bayers,
We took May, our '71 Westy Crossover, for her first long run out since we have had her, and what a weekend to pick.... 28C all weekend on the east coast of North Yorkshire. A stunning weekend of bus life by any standard.
She behaved impeccably, starting, idling and running sweet as, all weekend. She did a 200 mile round trip without skipping a beat. Not having a rev counter installed I am basing my gear charging on engine sound, and pull, but would love to have something more scientific to base the decision on until we get a tacho fitted in the empty hole of the dash.
Are there well defined / agreed speed ranges to change up and down between the gears? Have tried the Google and it came up shy.
Any tips, please?
Thanks,
Richie Clean and May the bus.
