New diy throttle linkage converts 15mm of lever travel into 45mm of cable travel required to open the secondaries on the carb which are now mechanical and not vacuum

Breif update....

So Richard being Richard ( the alien freak binary talking diabetic avenger who conjured up my speedo on the Rotus) is at it again.

"Rich? I need a Tacho for the lada and there isnt space for one!"
"I thought it was Russian not Mexican"
" Not Taco......Tacho !"

So now we have a 80s style 4 character red back lit LCD screen that is programmed once again from a micro processor taking square waves from the -ve on the trailing coil and displaying on the screen.....

.... here goes. There also a cycle button that can change the display from revs to outside temperature, press again and it turns to clock, press again to go back to revs. An F1 style green, amber, red shift light. ALSO an audible buzzer that goes off at 7k rpm. which incidentally can be changed to go off at any point with your phone  through the cars own Wi-Fi 

F sake i just wanted a rev counter lol

On a serious note, besides the box of tricks thats currently in production and an oil pressure gauge, all the electrics are complete. A loom which is subtle blend of old Skool agricultural Russian electrics and Japanese electronics. Not being disrespectul to Russian tech, even Richard is impressed with some of the methodology in which the electrics are mapped out.... "Jamie, this thing is backwards! its clever thinking, but its backwards!"

I cant help myself sitting in the drivers seat turning on all the controls and just talking jibberish in a half arsed attempt of a Russian accent, which then escalates into a barrage of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Polish then Swedish. Dont give up the day job Jamie...... too late!

Anyway, outisde of checking the dizzy timing and putting fuel in today, this thing may fire up !!! thanks Malclom for verifying plugs and positions from your FB so soon on your return from holiday.

Oh and I found the attached in the glove box, i think its instructions for unviversal fitting electric window winder kits

Just realised my update isnt that brief............

Ill take vid of it running if it starts

   loving the latest update. Well done Richard on embellishing the spec, epic! So close to firing up now

Does anyone know the ohms range of a 12a temp sensor from cold to what would be considered in the red ?

I've searched online and am getting very conflicting information or just downright incorrect

Thanks

This pic is from the manual.

I have done a "real" test on a spare gauge and found the following:

100 ohm, needle just moves off its stop
40 ohm, about 1/4-1/3 up gauge, where mine sits at normal temp
22 ohm, about 2/3 up gauge (engine not happy, starting to overheat)
10 ohm, starting to enter the red mark zone.

So the top end calibration on my spare gauge is slightly different to the manual spec.
