Re: Replacing Bongo roof struts - How to - DO NOT DELETE

So glad this thread is here, Used the ratchet method, sounds daunting but isn't really. The only problem i had was finding the right tool for the job (top fitting). I couldn't find a ratchet /socket thin enough to fit, in the end I used a deep cranked ring spanner. The nut and old fittings were 12mm...

Re: Fuel Pump? Fuel Filter? Battery???

Yes the bong oh is a modern vehicle in comparison to my petrol vehicles
my latest is a 87 750 gsx that does not like to be stood..
My lawnmower (B and S) also complains, but was designed in the roman era.
just realised my experience is with carbaretors

Re: Fuel Pump? Fuel Filter? Battery???

leaving the electrical issues battery/ignition, you run mostly on LPG.
How old is the petrol/ how much in tank?
modern petrols do not like hanging around unused and may be difficult to start.
probably just another question and not part of this solution
