OK...my SJ413 is very poorly. After a day at Brick Kiln, I blew the
clutch and was taken home by the AA on a truck. Note though, that
while waiting for the AA, I was at the side of the road idling for
about an hour, and the zuk ran fine.
Go home, and sat it on my driveway for three weeks before I could get
round to replacing the clutch. Replaced clutch and went to fire her
up...clicky starter...so took off the starter, stripped it and cleaned
a load of mud out...freed up the seized bearing on the bendix....stuck
it back on...span like a beauty, but it wouldn't start.
Took off fuel line at carb, cranked and spurted fuel all over the
engine bay...so fuel pump OK.
Tested each plug for spark...fine. Plugs a bit oily, but the engine
burns alot of oil anyway.
Timing belt is going round and round...took valve cover off and
everything seems to be going up and down as it should (though I'm no
great expert)
Swapped carb with a spare I had knocking around...still nothing....
I'm tearing my hair out here...I've spent most of the weekend working
on the bloody thing and it's still knackered...please help me! I
don't want to give in and take it to the garage!
Cheers
