you forgot about the seatbelt that you put in !!!!!!!

Dropped off van at Interpro after work tonight.
They seem sound and know there stuff.
Will await the results tomoz and prepare myself for the blow to the wallet!

how did they dyno go mate

No Pics........=......Didn't happen.

Nuff said.

Serious bad luck really............

never got as far as the dyno.

bloody pain in the arse empi carb (number 4 cylinder)- mixture screw fits inside a brass thread thingy into the side of the carb is turning on it's self.
This means no adjustment at all to the air/fuel mixture.
There is a tab missing that holds it in place/not been drilled correctly.

so, VW Heritage/SSP are collecting the faulty carb on Monday, and should have new replacement sent back by Wednesday.

This faulty carb was running very lean, and was over heating number 4; as a result the valves had closed up loads and compression was down to 50psi.

David at Interpro has checked out head etc and adjusted valves and now it is back up to 140psi. All others are at 150psi at the mo.

Lucky I got it there really and hadn't really driven her much. (or pushed the revs etc)

So it will hopefully be sorted and on the dyno/rolling road sometime at the end of the week.


sorry no pics, was at work all Friday, but Interpro took some of the carb fault. will see if I can get them this week.

So that's the 3 problems with the van sorted: engine leek, battery dead and now carb crap!

thts a bit of a bummer, wht carbs u running then i forgot ,

He said Empi, is that the HPMX dude???

Yep.

EMPI HPMX twin 40's

under guarantee though. (apart from the manifolds which I had to drill for brake servo...)

we shall see what happens next week.

kinda wished I had bought the webbers, but funds don't stretch that far..

hmmmmmm
EMPI but some reason i still want them lol, so has it caused any perminant damage to the engine, and did this just happen while you were driving the bus or has it been like that all along without you knowing with regard to the misxture screw,

all along. a problem at the manufactoring stage of the carb.

no damage done. not enough miles on it at once, low revs.

just a pain in the wallet me thinks.

empi carbs .....are webbers

They are Chinese copies, unfortunately, with a couple of small differences (this bit that went wrong being one of them).

I'm sure they will be fine when sorted and set up.

I just hate waiting.

new carb sent out today from Heritage.

should be at Interpro tomoz

just hope someone cancels there appointment so they can fit it and pop the bus onto the dyno!!

Don't forget!!!!!!!!!!



PICS!!!!
