    V8 ht lead configuration

    I have an intermitted misfire and think separating my leads is the first thing I need to try. Can anyone point me in the direction of an illustration/photo of the ht lead configuration. Not firing order, but how the leads pass over each other and the cam cover. Thanks

    V8 carb petrol leak into engine

    So on top of my non starting woes I just went to check the oil level before hooking up my new battery and a load of oil/petrol mixture poured out of the dipstick tube! How is fuel getting into the engine? Is it getting through the carbs? Do I need to flush it out, will it damage the engine...

    RRC 86 starting problems and missfire

    Tried jump starting off my girlfriends car and get the same clicking - dead starter motor? Volt meter on the dash shows voltage is fine on first click of the ignition but on second click when trying to turn over the voltage drops right down to the left.

    RRC 86 starting problems and missfire

    ok so I just tried to start it and it barely turns over now. Lots of clicking, like relays, am I right in thinking the battery's dead?

    RRC 86 starting problems and missfire

    They're not fuel lines, they look like overspill. Been told floats could be stuck? Man I've got myself a fast track to a world of pain hey! Really want to get it sorted so I can go play at dartford 4x4 this weekend!

    RRC 86 starting problems and missfire

    Ok well this morning she wouldn't start at all. Heard the loud clonk again when first engaging the ignition, think the starter motor was sticking. By the time that was free I'd nearly drained the battery so wasn't enough power to turn the engine over fast enough. Think it will catch if I...

    RRC 86 starting problems and missfire

    Can't vouch for quality, but the firing order is correct. I've separated them all with some plastic strips and insulating tape, should do the trick for now. Guess I'll just have to be patient until plugs, dizzy cap, leads and rotor arm get delivered. If no joy then, then I'll try the coil next.

    RRC 86 starting problems and missfire

    Thanks for the offer fett but I have leads, plugs, dizzy cap and rotor arm on order. Been told to check the coil too as these can suffer in the heat? Could a hole in the exhaust be adding to my woes? I've not had a chance to look into it yet but it sounds like it's blowing between the...

    RRC 86 starting problems and missfire

    Not sure if it's at all related but my wipers/wash are fairly temperamental. They can stop working altogether for 30-45 mins then all of a sudden be fine again. Guess that's just another connection to check!

    RRC 86 starting problems and missfire

    The leads are crossing over each other quite randomly, I'm going to try to separate them tonight with cable ties or similar.

    RRC 86 starting problems and missfire

    Thanks Rob! Carbs were overhauled and balanced a few months ago. Will check them tonight though. Oil seems ok, could maybe do with a top up. Not thought of fuel filter, where is it located? Could quite possibly be a fueling issue since the tanks been relocated inside the cab. I'm in sevenoaks...
