Mini Rebuild...

[KurtB]

It's looking good Alex. Keep the faith, despite your run of bad luck, it'll be worth it in the end :-)

[Alex B]

Turn it over a couple of times by hand with the plugs out. Just to make sure nothing is amiss. Good luck      

turns over freely with plugs in however i need to replace them so will do it without just to double check.

Good work Alex. Soon be up and running

Tuesdays antics.

Ht leads swapped over

Driveshafts in

Tidied cables etc up.

Oil and gear oil went in

Emerald hooked back up.

 

 

Battery was pretty flat due to leaving it off charge... Ooops.

So shall see if it fires up tonight.

 

Oh yeah and I broke the speedo drive you remove to fill the gearbox....double ooops

[Alex B]

So tonight,

I replaced the broken speedo drive.

Tried starting it.

No fuel coming through

Ran through the fuel system wiring.

Found out I had incorrectly connected a live up.

Corrected it and this happened....

 

No cat, back box or air filter

Ok so there's still along way to go.

Alex, good work. What speedo drive? I have always removed #11 on here to fill the gearbox. Its handily labeled as fill plug

Fill till it just dribbles out on flat ground and job done.

Looking good Alex.... Nice to see DIY builds / upgrades

 

As Martin mentioned, Filling the gearbox is done via the fill plug until it dribbles out, I use a short piece of garden hose with a funnel pushed in to the top, Takes a while to fill thou

Its a great feeling when it fires up and all runs after so much hard work.

 

I remove the speedo to fill the box. Its easier on mine as i have the ally removable panel.

 

Everyone to there own.

Thanks Andy!

Look forward to reading yours.

If you is the unused speedo drive it's easier to get to.

Is the speedo drive at the same height as the fill plug then? It should take 2.4L IIRC.
