Well said Kev. I'll see you later Jonathan. Maybe Tuesday. Working six days from 9am to around 10pm is killing me at the moment.

looks like fun

I am buggered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last weekend I fitted the engine and gearbox and during the week when time allowed I have been plumbing it all up.. spent a lot of time the last couple of days stuffing around with the petrol tanks and pumps and so on.

I still have a bit to do but today I filled up with oil and water and put the battery back in and turned it over a bit before connecting the coil and fuel.. first there was a mix up with the fuel lines as I got them round the wrong way then I went to start for the first time with no joy..

Plenty of spark and fuel but no go... George is popping over later to have a look but I am worried about the birds nest that is the gas wiring and trying to make sense of it and hoping it is not the reason for the non start.

Also not sure as yet but as I have never cranked my car over so much but there is a small knock?? not sure where its coming from as I am doing this by myself and hard to listen for while turning the key.

I swear if this turns out to be a dud I will shoot myself in the face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All good Jonathan, surely you weren't expecting it to fire straight away! There is always that one little thing you will forget.
Good work mate just keep working at it!

Once it is running put a vacuum gauge on it. It will tell whats going on.

Well it is pretty obvious but I am a big penis head who should have not disconnected the gas until after I got the new engine up and running???

The gas is still partly installed and it seems I have to follow the whole system and remove all wiring as it seems to be playing havoc..

Probably need to speak to Rodney as there are a few things I have no understanding of.. we managed to get it to fire but as soon as it warmed up it would not run pointing to it switching from one map to the next??

We by passed the injector starter relay and put power directly to it and it would fire, if in standard form the injector would pulse about 3 times then stop..... and would not start or run??

Fwarrk I hate this shit!!!!!!

Even then we have to play around with stuff and George is not sure but he may have heard a knock?? which involves me blowing my head off!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!
