October 13, 200917 yr Author comment_381530 Damn Luke I was hoping to be the first in Aus to build one like that orange sucker! I'd love to build a street reg hillclimber with that look. Black as black can get, pumped gaurds, good rubber and some serious suspension work.... Yes but if you did that look to your wagon it would be hotter!! I would have to rub myself naked all over it :) Ok that's just getting scary now, but yeah :y: Report
October 13, 200917 yr comment_381757 Something like this will do, but still in the lemon colour of course :) do it!! nice find man :y: Report
October 13, 200917 yr Author comment_381782 Well the KE found it's way home on the back of a truck last night. Not exactly sure what's wrong yet, first thoughts were fuel pump but that is working fine. It will start and run for a while, like 10 minutes then just suddenly turn off. I am thinking ignition coil fails once it gets warm or something. Stupid thing fired up first go as soon as it rolled off the truck at my place after being towed :) Massive recommendation to Grant from City Wide Towing, he came out in no time at all and as usual charges a very reasonable rate :y: Absolute champ Report
October 13, 200917 yr comment_381794 Yeh coil would be the first thing to try. Cheap easy job at least. Report

October 15, 200917 yr Author comment_382209 Ignition coil replaced and now we have go action, hope the weather on the weekend is good for cruising :jamie: Report
October 17, 200917 yr Author comment_382757 Well I still have some ignition issues. I replaced the coil, then the points, gapped them etc and the random shutting off has stopped but it is becoming a bastard to cold start. I adjusted the choke and am trying to get more charge into the battery to see if that will fix it. I am at the stage of replacing everything though, leads, plugs etc and getting it tuned up. Report

After I changed the ignition coil I then checked the points and they were pitted pretty bad. Since I changed the points she has been all sweet again so I prob didn't need the ignition coil after all. I am going to give her a service soon and just change everything I got no hard feeling against you Wol, cars have their own minds at times and like you said she misses you I can't wait to see your orange one out and about, colour is wicked :) Report
October 19, 200916 yr Author comment_383314 Two words - electronic dizzy. No sh1t. I couldn't agree more as this is not the first time I have pissed around with stupid points in K engines :P I hate points :) I will have to investigate the options relating to electronic dizzy :) Report
