Apart from the oil leaks mentioned in the previous post. There are some very basics to check just visually even to the 'novice' are easily spottable.
First off.
Check all around the carburettor for small fuel leaks.. The old ones are especially prone to leaking. These are very expensive to replace at around £120.00 each plus labour.
Check the fuel pump area. Especially around the base for leaks. These are a bakelite type flange that get very brittle in time and crack. However these are very cheap and easily replaced.
Check the Inlet Manifold boots. These need checking for cracks. They are not a simple job to do which is frustrating as the boots are only around £2.00 each.
Parts such as the Distributor cap/leads and engine surround seal are very cheaply and easily replaced. By if your buying a restored Van they should all have been changed.
Please add your comments below on other things worth checking.
