Is it the engine you sent a link about to Ming via FB Steve?? if so Jeezo...
Still looking forward to seeing this, best to take your time over it anyway - no sense in rushing electrics and such. You don't want to switch the lights on and have the airbag deploy after all :laugh:

lmao. well the engine is again silent. tidied up the loom and now it wont run HAHAHAHA. got spark so its something fuel related, got pump prime, and pressure so obviously injection wise but as to what im still unsure.
got new selectors and a clutch cable ordered and delivery paid for sat AM so will fit them tomorrow. then once i sort this injection light its good to go again! and THEN,,,, ill upload some pics.
