They look the same thickness, so I'm not sure what is going on. I've got some money saved up now so I'm just going to take it to a place that specialises in Carby's so they can rebuild my carby if need be and sort it all out. Thanks heaps for the help :)

Extractors

When I start it I have to keep reving it for about 3 or so minutes before it is warm enough to hold an idle on its own. Once warmed up it holds a fine idle. Also when reving in nuetral it sometimes is smooth, other times jumpy. I will look at the things you have listed.

Alrighty so I recently rebuilt my 4k, it got bored out and also got a mild cam regrind. At the moment its just got the standard carby on it and I've got a weber (32/36 i think) sitting in the shed waiting to be put on, but I just wanted to get it all up and running after the rebuild than worry about the weber later on. So my car will start and I drive, and after about 5 minutes of driving when I go to accelerate in gears 3 and 4, at about 3000 revs and above the car starts to jump and stutter, and it is really bad up hills. So with this happening I haven't been going further than ten minutes away from home cause it is a pain in the ass to drive. I know that most likely my carby needs a proper tune for it to run smoothly, but also another problem is I can drive it for that 10 minutes stop the car and it will start again, drive it for another 5-10 minutes than stop it, than try and start it an hour or so later and she just won't start!! Will this be involved with the carby needing a tune??? My last question is I know I really need to get that weber on so where is a good place in Brisbane to fit and tune it??? Cheers lads.

Thought about it but not going to, as in the future I plan on repainting the whole car a different colour.

Thanks heaps for all the positive comments. So here is an update. Put all the motor back together just got to put the carby and other stuff back on. Waiting to get some parts as I am replacing a lot of them, like the thermostat etc etc. Looking so much better than when it came out. When it come out the rocker cover was black from 30 years of muck and who knows what. Although after a can of degreaser and some autosol she is chrome again :dance: Once I put the engine back in, it will go off to the exhaust shop. I'm hoping that it is all running soon as I am fanging to drive it and I as I am in grade 12, my last day of school is in two weeks so I want to have a bit of fun outside of school or at least just have one last cruise on over.

Thanks fellas. Yeah the wheels are genuine Simmons. Very very keen to swap for some Watanabe lookin wheels witht the same colour scheme, black with polished lip. Would you have a rough idea on how much these wheels are worth? They are in great condition.

Hello. Haven't really posted much on here, only in the wanting to buy section once or twice and thought it was about time to make a post about my rolla. I got my ke70 in January and it is my first car. Has a 5 speed gearbox conversion, painted black, chopped springs, rims and some drift pipes. I absolutely love it!! Here is a picture of the night I bought it. Another picture back at home. Was all well an good untill about 4 weeks ago when I broke the rear main oil seal. So out came the motor and so did all the problems. I am lucky enough to have a brother as a mechanic (note: I'm a bit special when it comes to engines and all that stuff, but I'm slowly learning :D). So he thought while we had the motor out we should pull it completely apart and rebuild it, this was such a good idea as we found a fair bit wrong with it. The worst thing was all 4 pistons were cracked and even some of the skirts were completely snapped off. Other things like extractors, water pump and obviously the seals were no good so got me some new ones. After this my 4k went off to a reconditioning shop. Here they made me some pistons, 0.060" over size. Put new rings, bearings and thrust washer in it. Also ported the head and regrinded the valve seat. At the same time my cam got taken to Tighe Cams where they regrinded it to 276 0.40" lift. Here is a photo of the head and the bottom end after coming back from the shop. Haven't even unwrapped the head yet :laff: Also in between all of this I got a webber. Pretty happy I swapped some old shitty bike for it and it had just been fully rebuilt. So at the moment I am waiting on my cam to be finished and then when I get it back I gotta put it all back together and get it all running smoothly. Than taking it to an exhuast shop and get a whole new one cause my one at the moment is absolutely shagged. After this there is not much else I can do performance wise due to P plate restirctions. All I really want to do is get some different wheels and maybe lower it a little more. Comments welcome and here are my two favourite photo's of the car. Cheers Liam

Rebuilding my 4K and am after a 4K manual (like a book not a manual gearbox), seeing if anyone had a link to an online download or if there is anything online that will help me out. Cheers guys
