Bongo Fury

Hi have had starting problems with me bongo am in trade and removed glow plugs 3 out of 4 not working so replaced all 4 and thought thats that sorted,but have still got a really weird problem bongo can be fine for days but then out of the blue starts coughing and almost stalling at junctions but runs fine when driving and then is a real pain to start takes about 4-5 times of turning to go once running sweet as a nut,will then play up for a few times of starting then ok again.Has had a new head in the last 6 months any help much appreciated.

Have you changed your fuel filter & checked your banjo filter/strainer?

When you get the symptoms, quickly get out- and try to keep the engine running- and unscrew the fuel cap......if Bongo keeps running and gets faster..... you will be right... (undo the flap before getting out might help)...... just a thought

Haven't changed filter will do that,Banjo strainer ? is there a fact sheet-page on it ?
Undoing fuel cap ? will that prove the same theroy as posted ?
Thanks for the speedy replies.

Yup fact sheet in the members area under fuel strainer I think.
Undoing the fuel cap will check whether a vacuum is being formed in thr fuel tank if the vent/breather is blocked.

Thanks but can't see fact sheets as got to be a paid member ?.

Only costs about £12 Do a search on the forum, should be some pics somewhere, it's the banjo shaped connection on the forward end of the top of the pump, undo it, don't lose the spring & firkle out the tiny thimble shaped filter with a cotton bud or magnetic pick up, just be careful you don't lose/damage it. Proper instructions with pics in the fact sheet, just click on the "Join the club" link above, all sorts of benefits.

If all else fails... Don't forget the old leaf in the tank saga..! http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... n+the+tank
