    Re: bringing my 5 back from the dead

    Well today felt a very emotional day but also a brilliant day as today for me was d day and I finally heard my car run for the first time since 2006 wooooooo hoooooo a small fueling problem to sort on the adjustable regulator as the engine was basically seizing up with the amount of fuel going in and I believe the fpr has been set from factory massively high as the pressure gauge was reading more than 9 psi on initial start and just flooding the engine to a stand still but hopefully now I'm well on cause to have the car finished by the end of this month
    Will update more pics next week when the seats are in and interior completely finshed

    Re: bringing my 5 back from the dead

    How much fuel pressure and what size needle jet are you running mate?

    this is my carb spec mate carb is only tempory for this year as it will be going efi end of this year early next year was meant to be done already but the body shop charged me more than expected and i had to spend the efi money

    carb spec 27mm venturi
    choke flap removed
    butterfly half shaft

    jet sizes
    140 main jet
    100 air corrector
    125 screw-in boost enrichment jet
    150 fixed boost enrichment jet
    boost enichment spring adjuster bung removed

    yet to use as this was built for me, i think brigsy my problem lies with the fpr as i forgot to set it and only noticed it flying past 9psi when it was to late as the car fired up instantly. Thank fully it flooded and shut off after 1-2 seconds of running so no damage should have been done to the bores will fire it up again on tuesday and let you know the outcome mate
