Righto, been out and drilled up the pump access hatch, t'was a bit rotten, i have 5.36 v going to one pin which i presume is the sender and nowt on the others, two of em bell out as neg/earth so i am surmising the last one is supposed to be the feed, it looks white-ish maybe it has a trace on it...

Bugger, right better get myself in the garage tonight then with the multimeter and see which bit needs replacing next then, I reckon the relay is ok as when swapped with the ecu relay it ran the ecu so probably the fuel pump has gone belly up. This was supposed to be a run about whilst I got...

Im telling you now this thing will probably end up on carbs at this rate.

Ah but it is an auto, does it interfere with the autobox too? Pesky sod!

I run a 3.9 D1, open loop gas system. Why cant i just unplug the ECU if it only ever runs on gas? the stepper is the only thing that is doing anything now as the petrol injectors arent being used so control of the injection bursts and so on is defunct, if i can get it to idle well enough with...

Sniggers all round, except for the numpty OP

Understandable with the results of your last application of force, just give it a bit of a lift from below whilst pulling from the top too. It's been in there a long time so no surprise it's putting up a bit of a fight.

dizzy wise i have found a small lever applied below the vac unit and pivoted of the front timing case allows it to pop out. I have had mine in and out about 10 times in the last week or two.

Well its in and running, lovely smooth idle picks up well, not a single missed spark so far. build quality is as good as original if not a bit better, but the the original is 20 odd years old so no surprise it looks shinier. The leads that came are monsters i was replacing some 8mm silicone...

Oi!

I really can't fault the delivery times on this stuff, ordered Tuesday evening after the bank holiday Monday and delivered to Poland Thursday morning, stunning! The ht leads look chunky as anything I've ever seen before, 10 mm apparently all other associated bits in lucas boxes, so probably...

Gas needs a lot more advance on the timing, something like 12-18 degrees btdc whereas petrol likes around 6 plus or minus a degree or 2. What's the timing set at? Is your tdc mark on the crank pulley accurate? Check it by pulling out plug 1 and making sure when you are at tdc on the compression...

As title, Im now waiting on the Powerspark dizzy set up from simonbbc and whilst it is sat waiting I am going to whip the rockers off and give it a coat of looking at and hopefully cure the leaks around there that are somewhat dire to say the least, I have bought new gaskets and will order a...

not all of em.

Own thread with pictures is where it's at chap.

is it that Bear you took home last night from the club?

so, how did it go?

if th if that's all you have it will do, proper penetrating oil would be better plusgas or similar but if you dont have anything else then give everything a good coating of wd now and before bed , then again in the morning an hour or so before you start, it will make life easier. as for the...

Get out now and spray all the retaining bolts with penetrating oil, you will thank me in the morning. You doing the brake lines too? Buy some more fluid,

Speed hump at speed I reckon
