VW camper Well... MOT... at last!

Next Problem comes in the form of the same problem I had before. Carbs etc have been set up with new fuel pump, regulator, lines, vacuum hoses all done, no leaks... Yet when the engine is under strain it appears to drop to 2 cylinders... until I stop, when it ticks over perfectly and will drive on fine after 2 minutes of idling (but only for a few hundred yards)

So... I reckon the next step is to take the carbs off and for some reason I believe there to be a blockage of some sort in the left carb which is causing it to starve on that side of the engine, (the carb on this side has been seen to pop by mechanic) So... despite the garage down the road claiming to have worked on it and got it running, it appears they up'ed the fuel mixture to make it move and then gave it back... only took them a week. Nice!

A big thanks to Mill Auto Services of Creech St Michael for getting me this far, not so much of a thanks to the other garage who appear to have done sod all... ah well thats life! I think I will just start crossing things off their bill when it arrives.
