fusion Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 So the cars back. Its cranking and turning over, but its not actually . . . whats the word . . . going 'broom'? We put a air hose in the fuel tank and bleed the fuel system of all air. Took parts of the Weber apart to check the fuel was being delivered and it wasn't running dry. Also made sure all the fuel lines in the engine bay had no air in them. There is spark, so that isn't a problem either. One thing where still guessing is the timing on the dizzy though, could this affect it? If anyones got a suggestion let me know as I am open to try and get this running.

Taz_Rx Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 What did you do about a fuel pump? Just using the mechanical 3t pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Yeah I am . . . do you recommend an upgrade to a Holley Blue / Red? Or something else? I think one of the Rally guys has a couple lying around knowing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Yeah just install an electric pump in the boot/under car. See what you can get free/cheap. If not get a Holley Red (Blue is too big!) or Carter Green. I prefer Carters as they're self priming and it doesn't matter where you put them. :lolcry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hmm I will take that into consideration than :) However I am having some problems. To get the engine running we have to make it way advanced, which doesn't give us any revs at all. The mechanic tried all kinds of tricks up his sleeve, but nothing wants to make it any better (he even took the death axe to my Weber manifold and dizzy :( ) So we have both given up for the time being until I find some stock 3TC parts. We will go back to a basic motor setup and work our way from there as the only explanation we can think of is that the Webers have been sitting for over 6 months and might not be playing right. However when we did have it sitting there running it was a nice feeling to hear it firing through the exhaust . . . . until it gave a massive backfire through the exhaust :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 So . . . . ITS RUNNING. We put on the stock carby manifold complete and it still didn't go right. Than a random thought came up in discussion . . . . lets reverse the polarity of the dizzy. And guess what . . . all the di**ing around didn't need to be done :P Even funnier news though. First time out on the streets . . . and as it was given a little stick turning the corner back into the workshop and the diff blew! Sun gears where shattered So today was spent replacing the diff. So no more load for the diff until it is upgraded. I am thinking T Series from a TA22 with swaybar mounts . . . but I will see how it all goes. Need some more cash first. Also thinking of running a 36/38 DGAV (or whatever it is . . ) instead of the twin Webers, but we will see how loud its going to sound. As much as I love it, it was really hard last night trying to stay quiet around any hot spots :S Cheers Fusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
