This is how she sat, waiting for an engine re-seal...
Finally on her own feet! Took a lot of cranking to get it started. I didn't think that I was getting fuel pressure, so I pulled out the pump to check the wires. They looked fine, so I left it out to see if I could hear it when I turned the key, and then it started firing. I think that one of the hoses may have been kinked, and probably got freed when I pulled the pump out. Curiously, I never heard the pump at all, even though I have heard to listen for it. After it actually started, it ran horribly for a while and then started to smooth out. I took it for a short spin, and was loving life, even though it is still running like crap.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Woohoo! I bet it feels good! Care to elaborate on exactly how it is running crappy? Feels great! It is running very rough - I think that it might be missing a cylinder or two. Timing is most likely off. I removed the dizzy to replace the O ring, but I was careful to leave the adjustment plate intact. So it is only in the ball park. After running for a while, it only settled down to 2k at idle. Walked out to the garage this morning and the garage wreaked of gas, with no visible leaks. I think the smell is probably coming from the exhaust, which would confirm that I am not getting full combustion. It was 9 pm last night when I finally got it running, and I was ready to hang it up. I will do some more diagnosis this week. |
