Yep, we can get the engine to kick over ( not every time ) but the motor just won't hold it's revs once started

I had the problem of my bus turning over but not holding its revs. Gave me a headache for ages. Turns out it was the fuel filtter, simple.

fuel filter
Thats the one, below the tank.
They cost about two bucks to replace so give it a go.
You can test if its bung by taking it off and blowing into it to see if its blocked.

FUEL
Sounds like fuel stavation, try taking one of you fuel lines of a carby and crank the engine and see if you get a good streem of fuel running out of
it, also check fuel pump, but it does sound like the filter I like to run two filter to be sure to be sure.
Good Luck

Hey dude if it is your filter change it and run it till your tank is almost empty then pull out your fueltank and clean out 30yrs of sludge and then
another new filter,if you dont clean the tank history will repeat itself regularly,i pull my tank and clean it each year.:thumb |
