New toy WILL play :-D

[grinder]

just out of interest :

Once fuse is pulled and left out, get back inside vehicle. Hold accelerator pedal to the floor and crank for 15~20 seconds. Vehicle will not start during this procedure. Remember, it is key to this procedure that you hold the accelerator down and crank the engine at the same time.

why does this say hold the pedal down - does this open the throttle bodies to allow all the fuel to be expelled thru the open plug holes ??

Yep - it allows air to enter the rotor chambers, so that the unburnt petrol can be forced out through the plug holes.  Otherwise you have air trying to get in the same holes that you want the petrol coming out of.

Hope you get it going Stu.:yes :3gears-rh

[sadgoth]

oh thats not good - if i do that tonight - can i try and start it tonight - or will it need to dry out for another 24hrs

and the battery is fully charged - so it should be OK.. he says

I\'ve been able to start it straight after going through the unflood procedure so can\'t see any reason why you shouldn\'t have to

[grinder]

roll on getting home tonight then

oohhh i hate being at work when i should be at home getting the car going

[Grizzly]

When i do the EGI thing i usaly wind it over for about 10 seconds after the white smoke/Vapor stops coming out of the plug holes.

[grinder]

this is a great source of info guys - keep up with the ideas

id stick the plugs on the end of the wires and see if you can see sparks dude. then you can rule out that possibility - obvious that your getting fuel - and then its just a matter of the compression.

i hope you get it going pal! i just need motivation to finish off my project!

[grinder]

im pretty sure it will be running tonight

the compression should be fine - its only done 5K on a rebuild/new engine

I`d take the fuse out, crank it for 20 secs,  then leave it a couple of secs, (always keeping foot down)  then crank it again for 20 secs,  it may even try to fire, once the petrol starts going,  then bang fuse in,  keep foot still down, and crank it again,  make sure battery is fully charged or you on a losing battle,

hth

My FC says 69324  on the clock buts thats KM  anyone convert it to MPH   lol

[grinder]

about 40K ish

[Mobilemick]

ooh  thats not bad then  lol

[grinder]

not really - could be on the orig engine with that milage - does it still count up in KMS ?

[grinder]

69 324 kilometers = 43 075.9365 miles

[Mobilemick]

Think its the original engine,  its still got a little grey jap oil filter, air filters dirty, and 2 of the plugs look like they out of a  ford escort ??

Plus i mixed the leads up taking em off  anyone know firing order

Mick

How would i know wat its counting in ?

You started urs yet

[grinder]

right mick

1 - drive a mile and see what it counts !! LOL
2 - firing order - err no idea - but will make a sticky somewhere with the plug lead layout
3 - the oil filter is tiny anyways
4 - plugs should be bur9eq

and no - not started it yet - playing resumes tonight
