Well - after many many hours of nightmare wiring she finally fired up this evening - and a very exciting moment it was as all those of you who have done it know

Unfortunately the engine dies straight away - so I'm not quite out of the woods yet - but at least I can see daylight

If that was me, it wouldn't be daylight, it would probably be an engine fire.


Jasper - 16/2/07 at 08:24 PM



I'd just flooded it - cranked it a few times with no pumps and now it runs and idles fine (if a little fast)

Now to get Hicost down to finish the dash wiring
