True, true......Is the bus in your avatar a previous bus of yours?

It sure has been quiet here on the forum... ......... everyone must be out bussin' I am trying to get all my ducks in a row for assembly on my Type IV 2.0. I can not believe how much has to be done for this to work. If all goes well, I may try a dry run camping trip around Thanksgiving by myself. That is "if everything goes right", which is 50/50 right now. I'm working on the correct assembly procedures now and the correct "break in" procedures as well. Any suggestions are  . Busaholic |

I'll get another splitty.... maybe not one as unique as that one but you never know..... Here it is right before it left.. |

I can follow that- Splits are highly over rated. I dont think ill buy another one unless it falls into my lap. Bays are the dogs barnacles!  |

Hey, all! I've been working on my bus like crazy so I can maybe drive her before it starts to snow again. I'm having the same problem as Riley up in WI. I switched from a dual carb set up to a single carb. New manifold and seals and a rebuilt proven solex from a guy in GA that is supposed to be the bee's knee's when it comes to rebuilt German carbs. She fires up and will idle for 20 sec. and die. So, I backed out the idle jet screw and she will idle at about 2000rpm. I'm at my wits end. I'm shipping it back to him and borrowing a carb from a buddy wish me luck! Hope everyone's having a great summer camping in their busses! Peace, Andy

Look for a vacuum leak. Manifolds to heads, intake boots that join the center to the runners, and carb to center section. |
