Fc3s egi barn find

[the hat]

So I bought the car for 300 and myself and rotorheid decided too attempt too start it today after it has been last driven end of 2001 it turns out

I say attempt as it refused too but so far after draining file and oil etc and replacing with fresh stuff we have definitely got fuel too the rail although it is coming out of the return pipe a bit quickly as far as I can tell

The ignition side of things seem ok with plenty of spark and we have already cleaned the plugs rotor arm and dizzy cap

So any ideas here are a few pictures for now after we spent sone time digging the car out







Also a quick pic of rotorheid(Ian) doing his thing and smiling for the camera

Wonderful find, however... underneath all those RC planes how on earth DID you find her?!

A bit of luck as his son drove past my house spotted my fc3s and told me about it

[B.Martin]

And the fun begins, I\'m sure you\'ll figure it out, good find.

[the hat]

Yes but the big question is why any ideas folks

We think it may be the air flow meter flap stuck closed

[Kodiak]

Are you thinking of selling this on afterwards?...

[m1tch]

Lol its missing its battery cover :rollin

[the hat]

No I\'ll be keeping the car for myself and using it daily

Mitch it must be the only thing that\'s missing from the car every other little trim handbook and tool kit etc is there I\'m gutted it didn\'t start but Im sure it will as it sounds like it has plenty compression etc

Its just funny how hardly any have the battery cover, this EGI has been sitting in a barn for aaages and has still somehow managed to lose it battery cover :rolleyes:

Nice find though

[TiddlesRX7]

Nice find. Hope you can get it going without too much trouble. Keep the updates and pic\'s coming.

Ade

[Kamatari]

my rx7 still has a battery cover :O does it make it a r@re car :p

Nice little find though hope you manage to get things sorted out

[Skifledanabit]

I managed to buy a battery cover... Heh heh heh

You could try taking the AFM off and just moving the flapper door back and forward gently to free it up a little.
 
I\'d be tempted to take the plugs out and maybe even change them - it took a little while to get Lacey\'s running after it had been flooded, I reckon if you\'ve tried to start this one it\'s probably flooded a little too - but it will go.
 
Good find :cheers

[the hat]

No it\'s not flooded that\'s my problem prof the plugs have been removed before the first attempt and cleaned but we removed them and there still bone dry
