Type 4 1700 Find vacuum can

Post by shawn71 » 27th March 2016 - 9:51pm

The vacuum can on my dizzy doesn't appear to be working anymore. Any idea what can will fit and work on a type 4 dizzy?

Cheers

On the actuating arm/lever inside the Dissy, You'll find a number stamped Shawn- that's the important thing

As before, check with Jim Bourne to see if he has a spare. He's collected so many Type 4 bits over the 30 years he's been in the Club. If not, check with Jane and Bryan. pm for phone nos if you've lost them.

After visiting the farm for a tune up the 411 is running far better.

Replacement vacuum can fitted, injector points regapped and valve clearances adjusted
