The Bedford Boys Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hi again guys. I've got another problem with the Bedford MW. She is hitting a flat spot in top speed when changing from 3rd into 4th. The truck will not gain any speed when changed into 4th. What's the story??

The Bedford Boys Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Sorted now. Cleaned out carb and made new gaskets for it. Twisted the dizzy round a bit and now it runs quite nicely. Got up to 40mph on a short bit of curved road so I'm pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jest, nice little trucks, I drove them ( amongst many more,):kissoncheek::kissoncheek: in Germany in the 1950s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bedford Boys Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Nope it was on a flat road. She prefers sitting at 35mph though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sometimes forget, when these trucks were made we only had those narrow windy roads, and the speed limit for anything over 3 tonnes unladen was 20mph............ so at 35mph you are travelling quite fast, my Jimmy is the same, very happy at 35mph, any more and she rattles along shaking all of the bolts loose.... so I dont think that I will be overtaking you anytime soon...........:kissoncheek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
