Well went out to the workshop today and the bus is running nicely...
I'm sure there will be teething problems but will sort that out when it happens.
Just had all the mod plates done and the roadwothy so next step take all my paperwork down and get this old fella on the road

Thanks fellas..
Well it's got the mod plates and the old fella is now registered.
But it doesn't end there.. As expected, teething problems.
Does anyone have an idea on this.
When ur stationary and take off in first it shutters so much it won't stay in first gear, u can't even physically hold it there.
It also has a problem with the fuel pump I put in it, needs to be lower than what I had it.
Any suggestions on the first gear drama, ever other gear is sweet just first taking off..

how is the angle of the bowden tube? if it is too straight it can cause a shudder on take off.

Not sure the angle but should be bent,
I have spaced one out with a couple of large washers on one side to put a slight bend in it.
Was surprised the difference it made.
