The Split Screen Van Club

Very helpful- thanks all.

What’s the cost and is it just a case of removing old dizzy and installing the 123 ?

I may have been out of the office when the email came around about 123 Ignition+ thingy, but would love to know what it’s all about. Running twin 35 Dell’ortos on a 1776 with Engle 110 and Accuspark SVDA dizzy, which has been rolling road tuned for driveability, but always interested in things like ...

Stick a small magnet in the vicinity to catch the swarf, otherwise it'll all fall down into the B post and rust away.

Check your thermostat is opening and closing when get getting hot/cooling down.

Had spent ages under the bus on axle stands trying to do it myself and in the end admitted defeat, so got it installed whilst it was in for an MOT.

Also worth changing the diaphragm whilst you’re in there but I’m sure you know that

Pity you chaps down south - gonna be too hot this week !

Took my bus over to Nige Collier to get it finally valued this morning. Had a very pleasant drive to Nige’s place in the beautiful Peak District and was extremely impressed with the thoroughness he applied to valuing the bus. This really is an in depth service provided by SSVC and much appreciated. ...

You can also get choke blanking plates for the carbs. I had to fit a pair on my Dells. They’re the main culprit in fouling the shroud.
