ditchman Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) what is happening is...its injecting too late and the bore pressure is dropping so you only get partial expansion/combustion )lots of smoke cough cough....if you retard the pump..it will inject the mist earlier when the piston has nearly finshed rising to the top of the bore...which will be at its maximum pressure...............if you retard it too far the enjine will make a nasty knocking sound...so then advance the pump fisrt thing to do is to mark the pump to the block as you will then see your starting point........there should be an ARROW on the pump which shows the direction its turning.... oh ...and the other thing......PUT THE RETURN SPRING ON THE STOP LEVER BEFORE YOU TRY AND START IT... (i have been "down" that road)... Edited August 20, 2016 by ditchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted August 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 this isnt going on yet, but i just couldn't resist, put it on for a bit then took it back off, there is a small hole in the front of the radiator so needs a little solder, then it can go back on and thats it for today, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord O War Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Did you buy one of those old stock new grills for stupid money? I bought one, not told the missus what it cost though! The thingy in the picture at the top is a screen was pump, it mounts to the inside of the passenger wing. Yours will be all done before I have finished taking mine to bits. I had to do a bit of a stock take because I am losing track of what I have bought. It's the random screws that are confusing me, I found a packet with 4 massive philips screws and 2 washers but I have not a clue what they are for. I tried looking intently at then for several minutes but I am still non the wiser. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
