I am looking to buy a 2L aircooled kombi engine and only problem is that when it revs it starts to smoke, what could the problem be. Is it simple or a major thing. Thanks again

It might be simple: there could be too much oil in it.
It might be minor; needs new rings
It might be major: Complete engine overhaul.
Take your pick.

Thats one way of putting it!
What do replacing rings cost?

I removed the engine on a customers bus to fix oil leaks and do a major external service parts and labour R5000
removing heads and doing rings would add abour R3000 on top of that if the rest of the engine is up to scratch

Hi Armand
I know it's off topic, but i need to find some info on replacement carburettors for the 2.0l air cooled mototr. Currently it's got 2 worn out dpsit2/3 on it. What replacement carburetors would you suggest i put on it. I saw a couple of places online that sell weber. empi kits. Are they any good. We previously tried a single intake manifold with a 38 D/D but it was rediculously high on fuel consumption and it also had a bit of a spatter. Where can i find original carburetors for the bus?
Thanks
PS: I see you're also from the NW. Klerksdorp die kant. Lol.

Daar is niks fout met die original carbs nie as hulle lekker ge Tune is is hulle Champion
My Partner Johan het 20Jare ondervinding om hulle mooi te stel even al is die Butter fly shafts so biethjie geware
Daar is~n paar alternatieve carbs om te gebruik maar ons verkies die Std oukies vir economy
Jy kan met ons gesels met ~n deal om jou 2L te "Carbs te PROGRAMEER
