love ke70

faarrkkiinnn yeeaahhh!

what time at yatala? we could meet a few minutes beforehand round the back and sit and wait , or even park down on the road so theres no missing us :D ??

12th of May duh hehehehe

have you traced the wires? if theres any attached that is :D

maybe running way rich...close to stalling when its cold, but when it warms up it burns all that excess fuel. to post a pic i just upload them photobucket and put the image tag in the thread have you considered talking to carbie people?

i meant efi fuel pump, ie in tank pump etc

and efi fuel delivery system

gotta love workshops eh? :D if this is your only problem thats pretty good then :(

oh also, when you bolted the head back down, did you make sure the bolts holes were clean as a whistle and free from any grit and oil. coz if theres a bit of oil down the hole you will torque up against hydraulic pressure, not the head. if i make sense...

hmm, have you got pics? all you really need is the vac advance to the dizzy. the rest is greenies mumbo jumbo :( even without that your car should still go alright the fact its hunting (you did have the timing locked when you did set the timing didnt you) and your timing is correct means the carby is out of tune. have you considered taking this carby people to get it tuned. ie. carb n ject if ur in brissie, or whatever colour pages you want would prob help you out. once you know the carby is right, if its still running on, which i will highly doubt then you should be all set :D

are there any vacuum leaks? the fact someone else touched your car probably means they broke it lesson 1: don't trust a) a seller or b) anyone that touches any mechanical part of your car unless you have done it, and you know its right. its probably wrong. :D

lol, old diff oil is the devil. i have a tendency of throwing away the clothes I'm wearing when i do a diff oil change yicky stuff!

P.S 1700 yayay :D

does one not possess a measuring tape?????

just get the gasket and the backing plate before you start. should be easy peasy! :D

1 bar is 14 odd pound... did i mention my 1ggte ke70? def my fastest car goes like stink, i love it!

what was the timing set to? see, i may be way of the ball and been spending too much time in the shed with lpg fumes making my eyes sting. but my car was idling at 50 btdc and you couldnt hear it pinging but the idle was lumpy as all hell. see if you have a head thats been skimmed a couple of times, and your timing is too far advanced then whats to say the same sort of thing isnt happening? just on a side note, did you do a compression test? and all 4 cylinders were/are definately sparking right?

snuh?

don't ke3x doors not have side intrusion beams? or am i way off track here..

just stick her on lpg and turbo the f@$ker :)

in pending funds :) Stapylton BP meet at ?? pm

it migt actually...is it smooth at idle or quite lumpy? if the head has been skimmed a couple of times it might need a higher octane rated fuel to stop it detonating as the compression ratio has effectively been increased by skimming the head. cheers, andrew P.S strange, shell fuel is just as good as bp fuel in my 4k...woolies petrol is just painfully slow then again i hvae never touch PULP

great read! some people get all the fun :) lol

oh, P.S, whats wrong with grandpa's engine? and nick, C doesnt mean carbie, means californian emissions :) might have a carby on it tho...:shrugs:

yellowpages mate. all the just jap, asian auto spares etc etc would prob have one if not normal wreckers probably have them aswell...
