Hi,
Got gearbox and engine fitted today. Quite a job alone! Bolted everything on checked everything twice, checked ignition. Ok, all should be fine for firing the motor .
Nothing! Crap, what now. I had unconnected the fuel line from the tank, hose back on and a new try. The engine started almost at first turn! Wou!
A couple of things I would like to ask. The generator light stays on when the car idles. Lets say, before the engine strip in went off 1000rpm(about). Now it stays on but goes off maybe at 2000-2500rpm?
What can cause this, did not touch the generator during my rebuild. I noticed when I took the engine off that there was one maybe 20cm wire hanging from under the generator(there is a mounting for this). What is it for, now its missing?
Can a low voltage battery cause this light problem. Shouldn't the light go off just like before, after about 1000rpm? The two wires is connected correctly to the generator, nothing else.
Didn't get the ignition(points ignition) to correct position, the engine did not run very well, some stalling, strobo problems. Im going to fit the 123 ignition so this will sort this.
