Griff Rides Again

[Joel]

IT RUNS !!! ....it actually blinkin' runs! I can't quite believe it

 

Assuming you've no idea what I'm on about, my 2B is finally nearing the end of an extravagantly long switch to fuel injection.

 

I took it off the road shortly after the Stafford show ....2009!! ...to fix what was then just a leaky fuel sender seal. That escalated into fitting: a new custom fuel tank suitable for injection; electric fuel pump; filters; new boot; complete new fuel lines; set of Honda CBR throttle bodies; custom FastDan manifold; custom jenvey fuel rail; zetec injectors; adjustable fuel pressure regulator; Megasquirt ECU; Weber crank position kit & 36-1 toothed wheel; EDIS module and coilpack; partial rewire; Stack lambda kit; 2-wire coolant temp sensor...

 

..and while all that was going on, there was the slightly unrelated work of: new clutch; new engine mounts; new gearbox mount; new dash; new steering wheel; partial respray; new bulkhead; new battery.. and a whole load of other stuff I've probably forgotten.

 

You get the idea.

 

Anyway, after nearly 2 years to the day since it last ran, it fired up for the first time with the new setup today . Early days yet, but even using the default un-tweaked Megasquirt values you can just tell it's going to run better than it ever did on a carb.

 

Happy days.

Very clean and tidy

Well done, all looks very nice.

looks great, I know how you feel about jobs snowballing. What started as replacing the seats in mine has resulted in ripping out the steering column, brake lines/servo and wiring loom with more needed.

Very clean, shame to drive it

Looks great and doesn't look like you will have to cut the bonnet, much better finish.
