    i'll see if he has haynes, i think mine is for type 4 engines.
     
  5. Fella, I have no idea other than spark production could be too weak but it definitely worked :)

    ok thanks, i'm hoping he either joins this site or follows the link off earlybay, your test and para's are pretty easy to do so he should be ok with those.

    is sounds sweet on choke not lumpy and he reckons he bought it back from where he bought it from at speeds up to 75mph....... i said your speedo must be out but his mrs was following him and she told him the speed was right...... it has no interior in so carrying no weight, i doubt it would run that speed on 3

    that would be cool, he's after a mot off someone who knows these vans so he knows it's safe, i mentioned you as you do mine so i think that would be good if we can sort it.

    thanks matey, that sounds good, but obviously it won't run once the choke goes off, does that matter? can we set it up with it not running.?
