done mine too! proud to have RHOCAR memer 12 under my posts!

well if the whole engine is up for grabs let me know! will have to keep an eye on you if your going duratec as that would be my engine of choice if i had the pennies spare.

dave, sounds good are they easy to re-jet. go dcoe and they are faily simple. any idea on what sizes for a std cam??? What would you want for them. northants not far.

ok tried that and no joy! there was plent of fuel on my hand through when i took it away! i think i have uncovered another issue though, i took the rad cap off and i have sludge (wasnt there before) i assume this is my head gasket gone! i have just compression tested all cylenders and have over 11 on all of them so must be between oil and water only.

that aside i would'nt have throught it would cause my orgional issue??

oh well that me done for this year!!! here's hoping for stoneleigh lol.

will give it a try thanks

just swapped 3 & 4 leads over, still the same the problem does not move from number 3! im flummuxed

twin weber dcoe 45's, when i adjust the idle screw it does nothing as tehre is not spark to ignite

No change as i rev her up, runs bad all the way through

What carbs are you running and does it improve at high recent

ok, car is running like SHt, thought it was my carbs but all appears ok, but when i remove nubmer 3 ignition lead there is no change to the engine running where there is on the others.I i checked that i had spark through the lead at the plug end by eathing it, Plenty of spark! changed the plug (Bound to be that) No still the same. used my timong light to see if that would register with lead attached to plug and nothing.

Took the rocker cover off to check rocker arm all looks fine.Checked that air was being drawn into number 3 at the carb and sucking just as mutch as the others. Did a compression test go 11.2bar not bad for an old motor! so i beleive i have ruled out the plug, leads, rocker, valves (would not suck and blow, pardon the expression)and carbs.

so why is she not running right???

HELP!!!!! I WANT TO GO TO STAFFORD!!!

thanks keith

Hi,

keith

does anyone have or know where i can get a cam shaft for a 2.0l pinto this weekend?

std would be find but if go fster one great.

in leicester but can travel!

Hi all,

i have had quite a few PM's asking for the details on altering the resitance of the senders to work with the koso displays. therefore see attached document which explains all. a bit of calculation to be done but ultimatly by fitting resitors to a std car sender you will be able to get the fuel guage working on the dash's

hope this helps

regards

check for an air or fuel leak, i had a similar issue and it turned out to be a fuel leak from the cold start/choke at the back of the carbs. removed it and blanked it off and has been fine since.

i dont come back from holiday till early hours but if feeling up to it and can get a pass i will try and make it what time would you be setting off?

on the koso one you need to put a risitor on the sender unit as they operate at either 100 or 510 ohlms i have a sheet with info on for it pm me you email add and i will send it you!

i have to say i almost turned around heading to the leicester meets after 1, running out of fuel and 2, seeing a dark cloud and a pretty rainbow in my rear view mirror. managed to avoid getting wet though

got out of dinner :-) so should be there as long as the car behaves! first proper run out this year. fingures cross i have got her sorted this time!

it was for my carbs got a leak from the cold start device, managed to sort it last night. Are you going tonight? need to give you your colour tune back. becks has gone and arranged dinner round someones but trying to get out of it!

random question but have either of you two got any gasket paper?
