anyone know what all the red is.. think the rad is on the shopping list now but should at least improve the situation, hopefully resolve it
so back from a test run.. got to Shepton using as much revs as I could and hammering it hard up every hill and the temp guage didn't move all the way there and all the way back so calling that a success..
still a little worried about timing.. on LPG it's backfiring on hard acceleration from low speeds and on the overrun.. have retarded a little more to see if that sorts it but gotta eat now so will check that out tomorrow..
Thanks ratty.. will do. Also concerned about timing or sommat now.. ran down to burnham yesterday and back today.. temp stayed solid all the way but misfiring a little on petrol and on lpg got a backfire so bad the airbox is in pieces... no idea if the MAF survived..
yeah pleased the overheating is sorted.. backfires are happening on the overrun and under load.. switched back to petrol now so gonna keep the miles down until it's sorted.
I have the new plugs in again but re-gapped to what it said in the rave..
remind me.. cos I've got all kerfuffled.. clockwise is advance anti clock retard??
I've tried it both ways and still getting the same.. think I might be getting obsessed with those two little springs which presumably would be allowing mechanichal advance too soon if they are stretched?? for the sake of a tenner I'll get them matched and replaced I think..
problem is finding them.. the only person I have found who can supply them doesn't have any onfo on this dizzy so doesn't know what size to send me..
tried that.. no luck..
the guy I mentioned before said he could match my springs.. will investigate that a bit more.. guess I will have to send them to him..

local agents and stealers all say new dizzy. it would be heart breaking to have to spend that sort of silly money for the sake of a couple of springs.. and recons / second hand units are like hens teeth from what I can see.. blue tops common as you like, black tops not.
