Hi, I want to get my engine and carb tuned does anyone know anywhere in the midlands (I’m in Derby) that could do it? I’ve done a basic tune myself but it needs a specialist I think. I have a 1980 Aircooled 2.0l with a Weber (empi) carb Thank you

Is that an injection setup? Sounds like air intake or blocked carb to me? Worth checking fuel pump to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks Da Dan, I tried spraying to clean carb and think this may have been the issue as it’s improved massively. I changed the fuel tank a while back and maybe s...

Check fuel filter near tank and vac pipes and elbows near carbs

Thanks Moki there is only a single carb now in the centre but I will check the fuel pump and vac pipes

I have recently been having an issue with my 2.0cu air cooled engine. It’s been standing for a while but has been started regularly. The issue is that it will start and idle but as soon as I put my foot down it dies down and will cut out unless I lift my foot again. I have replaced plugs and distrib...

Are the fuel tanks the same? On the Brickwerks site and others the fuel tank is not specified as either. If I bought a used diesel tank could I clean it and use it on a petrol van?

My van is a 2.0l CU early petrol air cooled van 1981

Thanks

Thanks Guys.

replace the filler neck with a plastic one and use the later tank

would this be the 48mm filler version?

If so Ive seen a secondhand complete tank from a 1984 water cooled petrol van that has all pipes and sender unit attached. Would this fit?

My van has had a petrol leak for over a year. I found out via the forum that this is common if it’s filled to the top so for the last year I’ve only filled it half full. That was fine (though a pain as the fuel gage is also inaccurate and has led to running out of petrol a few times) until a trip to...

I have bought a screw on rail which looks like it will go on just above the gutter. The problem is I am not keen on drilling straight into the roof and thought that there might be an option that screws into the rain gutter. I saw the comments about a pole and clamp but am not sure how this would wor...

obviously you need to sort it but mot wise remove it to give you time

Thanks that’s really good advice.

Thank you. Thats really helpful. I found the whole tyre thing quite a maze. I’ll check the hoses and tyres. It’s due for its next MOT tomorrow and the spare needs changing. Otherwise everything seems OK (fingers crossed) I drove from Derby to Hamburg and back in the summer with no problems. Thanks f...

Hi,

I have standard wheels on my 1981 Aircooled tin top. On the wall it says 185 R14C. All the tyres are OK but the spare is bald and I have been offered a new Conveo 185/75r 14C does anyone know if this will fit?
