Back to it (with Steve's Help)

After a bit of a break with Chrissy away over the summer Tim is back on to the car (Chrissy is busy paintballing in Scotland til Tuesday)

Anyway Steve came around and provide much knowledge and assistance.

Progress -

We have the fuel guage working
We have a spark
We Now have fuel - it seems the fuel cut off switch was doing precisely that even though the red button was depressed, anyway we have bypassed it for the moment, recognising it's going to be a right so and so to get out.

This now has allowed the pump to work and fuel to flow.

Important tip, there is a schrader valve on the top of the engine on the fuel system that you can push the plunger of (just like a valve on a bike tyre) and you can see fuel flow if there is pressure - see below.....









There are still some problems however -

1. We cannot get any oil pressure the guage does seem to be working but pressure isn't being generated. We took the oil pressure sensor out expecting oil to be spurted out when we cranked but it wasn't.
2. The cut-off switch see above
3. The starter motor sometimes sounds fine at other times sounds really grating.
