Ok. Can it be repaired or is it a throw away thing?

Hi Guys... Brakes this time. As some of you might know from my other thread I've just put a reco-ed motor into the boy and have enough grief with that (not entirely sorted yet either) when, this evening I went up the street for a test drive and the brake pedal went to the floor!. - second pump got s...

True enough. I haven't had a go at the carby this evening, but I did put all the crap back in and refilled the coolant and started it. - I set the timing as close as I could get to 10 btdc and it still doesn't run well - just better than it was... But, FFS!!! talk about exasperating bloody machine! ...

Not a silly question at all. I know Pete adjusted it on the Saturday we tried getting the motor going. To be honest, I don't know where it is set a.t.m. I'll take a look at that tonite. Won't I feel a dick if that's all it is...

I wish I had a couple of carbies to swap about, but alas, I have only the one. :cry: So do you think I might have nipped up the manifold a bit (maybe it wasn't leaking there in the first place, coz no water leaked out) and I should concentrate on the carby...?

Finished putting a fully rebuilt motor back into my MB on the weekend and not happy Jan. It starts reliably and runs - badly. The motor itself I'm sure is sweet, but it will not idle. It misses. Timing it as best we can I've driven it a short distance and it pulls really well - the missing disappear...

Hi Brayden.
I guess that would make sense... Please do.
Cheers

Well. What a day. Again we met for a cruise, unfortunately, only the same people made the effort, plus Parry this time in his (Oh Wow!) green MB. We waited until nearly 11:00am for all you lot that said you were DEFINITELY coming this time last time, then with no more starters we were off. I had hop...

I should be there.

Hey Macdee
Are those mags or spinners?

My 550 'Boy will go off the dial...

Brayden.
That cabling looks the ducks guts.
Nice job.
