its now with a friend who is writing an article for Dorset MMOC and I think it will be in their next issue!

Thanks worth considering but the problem with doing this is that they turn into bearings!

today I was coming back from dropping Charlotte off @ the bus stop, engine warm when i came to a sudden halt. @ first i thought it was petrol problem, looked @ fuel pump tested flow all good then dived into new carb, petrol in it and no blockages. Took spark plug out and no spark, as have fairly new...

fixed now thanks for all your input, replaced the carb with an over hauled one and bingo! the old carb was not quite sitting properly the bit that the needle goes into at bottom and the spring to the damper/piston was double the length and was causing the whole thing to do this petrol starvation thi...

Couple of weeks ago replaced all bushes on front end of our traveller with Poly ones now they creak, grunt and make many noises, nothing is loose and any worn metal parts were replaced!
Tried squirting WD40 into them but alas still noises!

HELP!

Many thanks

Marcus

I say it clears but as soon as you increase speed it returns again with all these fume smells.
In answer to your question re dizzy all was replaced except HT leads

Have carried out a compression test and all good.
Its the loss of power before this happens you can smell exhaust fumes it does this loss of power and juddering and you slow down smell more exhaust fumes and it clears only to start all over again if you go towards and over 50mph!
Thanks Marcus

Oh that's worth a look, may be blasting some air through it will give us a clue or even an answer! Thanks

yes good pump. carb piston seems good, no evidence of it sticking.
But what concerns me is the exhaust fume build up before and after it happens!

since we have skimmed the head as was found to be a bit concave and the problem persists HELP!
thanks
Marcus

yep all torqued valves reset, tappets adjusted went like a rocket after all this, the fault seemed to have gone as could take him over 50 plus and no problem. Will take a look @ bmcecrosse's list in the morrow.

Symptoms as follows:- Coughs, splutters and judders when under load eg going up hills but only when the engine is warm then you can smell exhaust fumes, if you slow down a bit it settles down. push it towards 50mph even on a flat and the same thing happens. so we took the head off and found gasket a...

Here is the old boy back in 2009 - whoops it was in Pathos[frame][/frame]

Thanks for every ones help.I used used 5 /6 for the green and black (the back connection) and 7 for the black and it worked! Only to throw up another problem that the wiper motor nylon wheel inside the wiper motor is warped and hence this is why now and then they stick and now they get stuck! So ano...

Following on fomr this thread thanks but what wire to what terminal, tried this and the wipers stayed on constantly then wouldnt work again! Re: Wirering Heater Motor by IslipMinor » Mon Mar 04 2013 6:23 pm The wires on the wiper switch should be black/green and black. The black/green is connected t...

I have just put a different heater in to my moggy van and now the wipers wont work. So i have disconneted the switch and made another feed green the other one goes off to the heater. But now muddled as to what wire goes where on the back of switch to make the wipers work? I have the following wires:...

this is not totally the case as far as I am aware they are made in the midlands some where. Brian Wood from the Dorset MMOC has met the guy who's company makes them for B and B!

hum the oil has ruined the brake shoes if this helps! the gaskets were brand new and in good order, cant recall if we did both sides the old grey matter can't think but defn the side we replaced the oil seal.
thanks
Marcus

no checked the breather this is clear and the oil level was low so now topped this up.
Oil seal no damaged and fitted correctly but this doesn't expain why they have both now gone when only on replaced??
thanks for suggestions so far.
