Introduction
Here is the latest addition:
Do I not have to tell them engine numbers etc?
looks vaguely like an oil pressure gauge sender, possibly temp sender aswell if there's extra wires. Isn't that often what a sandwich plate is for, retro fit to give a feed for extra dials?
could be worth fiting a swirl pot too to hold fuel. does the pump prime ok or is it a mechanical one? might be worth going for one out of a small engined punto or a cento. likely to fit
Well its reasonably good news, the fault seemed to be a dodgy positive battery cable and with a new one fitted its just a slightly bad setup carb which an overhaul should sort out.
Seriously? Dodgy battery cable? Find this hard to believe, not that I don't trust your judgement that it seems better. My experience with the engine was it was very up and down in terms of performance even without changing anything. Symptoms would change with the weather.
I really hope it is "fixed" as a battery cable would be a funny solution and something I wouldn't have looked at!
