Evening all So quick question for a 302 what gauge in lbs pressure cap for the expansion tank? Cheers

I had just the same issue on a Quad bike and as Mike said it was worn brushes, seemed like a dead battery it just clicked, in fact I changed the battery first!! New set of brushes later and its never missed a beat since.

Cheers Jasper really appreciated

Hi Jasper, its a Motec M800 have you used those before? Got Geoff at Taylors looking at the map as he is just round the corner, he may do a doctors visit to me :)

Fair point Howard, if I have to run a cable it may as you say be on a totally different circuit....Cheers

Looking at the map offline I only seem to have this setting Run RPM, cannot change it but that's maybe as I am offline to the ECU

Hi JP, not sure I have, its a map I inherited but it did not have a setting for the HP fuel pump so I am not sure it was ever 100% I will check that as it makes sense the injectors are not triggering during crank but do on test, cheers

I did double check!!! I had used my thumb and cranked by hand first time, this time to check I popped the red storage bung in and crank on the motor pulsing it, I can tell you one thing the compression is good, popped out like a zit of a teenager.....So pretty sure I am TDC compression...

Cheers Andy will do, does sound like fuel, Micks map I assumed would have had that but worth a check for sure!!

Cheers Frank clean forgot about Geoff, hope you are keeping well, when all this Covid stuff is over I'll pop over for a brew and a catch up!!

Hi Finally firing the engine up, well trying to!! Have sorted any minor leaks and got the following 3.5 bar on the fuel rail according to the ECU (am double checking with a manual gauge) Spark on the plugs, well No 1 plug I checked MSD is triggering on crank All fuel pumps running Have setup...

Cheers all

Hi Getting close to starting the beast, fuel system is all in and dry after one failed UN fitting but does anyone know the best pressure to set the fuel rail? Mine is a stroked 302 running a Jenvey TB system with Motec ECU, I have a sytec pressure regulator, the ECU is currently showing the...

Got the comparator Neill you suggested, my gauge is resistance based so not sure ot has a voltage across it or is it detecting the voltage drop the resistance gives, but hard to test on a oil pressure as I have not got the engine running yet.

Not sure Eddy just thought I read it somewhere, will make the cover anyway and remove later if I like the "bare" look, first thing I need to sort is my shift rod is bent so having issues aligning the linkage, seems the nut on the end is not quite welded square so when I turn to adjust its a bit...

I think pedal be will be fine, frankly if you head hits that there are worse things to worry about !!! I was thinking on the gear shift as to the internals of the mechanism itself, others may have more knowledge but I think it has to be covered as its a pinch trap?

Yes I think that plus exposed moving parts, just a guess but bloody everything needs shielding it seems, I meane heaven forgive of you hit your head on a dash screw that is not dome topped !!!

Ah that's a job I still have to do, mind you I quite like the look of the mechanism but it will fail IVA I may make mine removable? Lookign great as always though Eddy

Hair is a unneeded luxury, any GT40 builder will lose a bit, Grass never grows on a busy street!! or some say An empty barn needs no thatch!!

Hi al, thanks for the info and tips, I had seen a comparator Neil but could not find a suitable circuit, I agree a wire best but a pain to fit my sender actually has a feed for a light but its a long way from the dash!! ETB Ian I will ask. Nice idea re left and right tank bit like an aircraft...
