    zenith carb problem (?)

    Ah! Strangler = choke ... small language barrier. Thanks. It's like bono said: i still havent found what i'm looking for. i cant see anything like a temp sender from the top and in order to work it really needs to be near the head, so remains a mystery at the moment. I'll have to trace the wire...

    zenith carb problem (?)

    Cheer dodgeram - where's the sender, though? I was looking right next to the thermostat housing and there's a big flat brass nut/bolthead where I'd expect it to be (given I'm not overly familiar with this engine yet). I didn't have time to trace the wire.. should it be next to the thermostat...

    yeah there's a filter which, from memory, is after the pump as it rests on the rocker cover. OK I'll check that stuff, thanks again. I think the van wasn't driven too much for a while before we bought it, so a development of inexplicable debris is in-character.

    You shortened the curtains?! Hope you got an engineers report ! ;-) congrats on the grampitute !
