It was out and does sound a little better but obviously was not problem my problem, must be tappet setting related as Brigsy advised, will check these tonight if the weather holds out.
Bugger i was hoping thats all it was for you.
Me to only had a quick 5 min play yesterday in between stripping and painting the house front door.
Going to have a quick play when I get home tonight from work going to re-torque head and re-set tappets.
finally got it running re-torqued head, reset tappets 20/20, new spark plugs, new dizzy + rota arm not sure which one cured it. Took it for a quick spin and all good bar a sticky accelerator cable and my side exit centre bobbin had split so exhaust now hanging apart from that all hunky dorey.
Good stuff james.Is it not 20/ 15 with the tappets or did you fancy a change? You never know what was the problem sometimes with these cars, they realy are like a women
Depends which haynes guide you useGood stuff james.

Ok exhaust now fixed
Don't want to start another problem thread do will carry on this one.
Got yet another problemcar idles perfect and drove perfect yesterday for about 2 miles until the exhaust came loose so cut my drive short.
Fixed exhaust thinking that was it Finally done. Took the 5 for a very short drive and as soon as I hit 2k rpm the running on 3 problem is back
Any ideas or anyone local fancy casting a second pair of eyes over it.

Have you tried a different king lead ? Might of got some heat damage?All that's left too change is this, leads and renix. May aswell do all these at once too.
Hope not only a few months old, I will dig around in my smaller spares store to see what I have got lying about.Have you tried a different king lead ? Might of got some heat damage?All that's left too change is this, leads and renix. May aswell do all these at once too.

Yeah it seemed ok a little hesitant for a 1 or 2 secs apart from that was fantastic to be back behind the wheel. Now it's just testing my patience again
Thats really strange, amybe worth a look to see if there is anything fouling the area the exhaust sits as if its ok when loose and then not when fitted you would like to think its something around this area.Yeah it seemed ok a little hesitant for a 1 or 2 secs apart from that was fantastic to be back behind the wheel.

The exhaust was fine when I started my 2 mile drive yesterday only came partially off when I got into my road and it was only the centre section mount that had snapped (bobbin type) don't think the exhaust is related to it.
OK, this is really strange.
OK, this is really strange.
I'll start from scratch again, reset tappets, re-gap sparkies, try another king lead etc
is it pining for the Fjords?
Well many thanks for the Wizards assistance I have reset the dizzy gear correctly now, flywheel TDC mark lined up with 0 on the gearbox bell housing so that the rota arm now points directly away from the engine.
With reference to how I split a liner this is a combination of things from looking at the liner first thing is I was suffering from Det in cylinder number 2 (liner that went)and from looking at the liner it was rusting from the outside inas there is a rust line on the outside of the liner that looks like rust is eating through it so with the liner being weak and the small det this is what i think has caused the liner to go. I think whom ever had the engine previous to me has just been running it on water for a very very long time I will find the camera and get some pics of it up.
Not sure what has been causing the Det as yet? Could be faulty AEI vacum

You must have knocked something when playing if there is no spark as there was before, as for the fuel pump, you not got a dodgy relay have you?Well many thanks for the Wizards assistance I have reset the dizzy gear correctly now, flywheel TDC mark lined up with 0 on the gearbox bell housing so that the rota arm now points directly away from the engine.
