  1. Had mine for over 10 years before I sold it..... Few things are critical if it retains the Bosch k-jetronic manual fuel injection. Fuel pressure can't be low... Once it is running does it rev fully..... If so fuel pressures should be good. Does it start badly from cold or hot? If so 7th injector in plenum could be suspect if cold. I would seriously suspect the small device at the front of the engine called the warm up regulator. They can be a bugger. Relieve the pressure in one of the pipes and lift pipes away and check fuel gauze filter under the banjo. See if clogged. Clean....... DO NOT press too hard in the fuel enrichment screw . The one with that need the long Allen key. It can damage the fuel distributor. Injectors are probably gummed up. Get some injector cleaner through it or ultimately get them sonically cleaned.. New ones are a fortune... If you like I have the jetronic diagnostics guide somewhere . Pm me if you would like a copy.

  2. Anything Ian just pick a date and let us know. Re trips - Just my thoughts - I would avoid too much walking as there will be people not geared up and I am lazy!!!. Brewery trip is a must on 1 day and another long run out perhaps.. Perhaps a Friday and Sat with peeps departing on Sunday AM?? Brewery on Friday for those that can make it.

     

    Thanks for volunteering :)

  3. Is going in 2b or s7. 2b should be ok and been done. S7 is tight because of the monocoque chassis rails giving limited width. Would go v6 gearbox. I am not sure the 4pot gearbox will fit as v6 had longer input shaft. You can get a v6 box to for a 4pot but not sure the other way round.

  4. Well my problem of not displaying new content is resolved...... Nothing was broken. I have used these boards for years and never noticed something. When you click on New Content there is a panel on the left that allows to follow content you have not read or just content that you follow or other such settings. I have never changed it for years but somehow in a particularly enthusiastic clicking spree the option for content that I follow had been clicked. So I was getting no new content.... Just a tip in case anyone else has the same issue or wants to explore the new content options.

     

    Cheers to Rob for investigating. Top bloke.
