Thank you.
Picking it up at around 3:30 this afternoon. Feels like Christmas

Will be driving it back to Randburg in traffic so look out for me if you are lucky enough to be in the traffic with me.

Dawie an oil change and some additive has sorted out the box. It was also leaking oil so possibly the oil was also a bit low.

Just picked up the bus and spent an hour fighting through traffic! It was fun people hooted and waved and the gearbox is much quieter.

Tony i dont know if these are decent photos but they are photos....getting ready to meet some aircooled guys for a drive to the Piston Ring Club tomorrow.

I also finished fitting the sound system. Not everyones taste but I enjoy all sorts of music so enjoy decent sound. The set up consists of a split speaker system in the front, some boxed 6x9s under the rear seat with a 8 inch sub in the boot, all running off two amps.

Met some of the aircooled guys for a drive to piston ring club. Bus ran beautifully but will not start now??? Either there is no fuel or no spark! Any ideas?

You must test via process of elimination. Could be many things.

Remove fuel hose from carb and crank the motor to check if fuel comes out. If it does, its not fuel.
Remove a plug lead, stick your finger into it and crank the motor. If you shock, its got spark. Wait, rather stick a screw driver in and hold it close to an earth. If there is no spark, check points, condenser, power to coil etc.
