  1. Way to go. ! Saturday, Saturday, you can do it!
     
  2. i think the vac pipe needs moving
     
  3. Yep, I just bunged it on there as it kept getting in the way. ;D
     
  4. Well I got it in. Primed but couldn't get it to fire :( unfortunately that was about two minutes before I had to pack up to go out... Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

  5. First time fire ups can be a real arse sometimes... I've had my share of don't want to starts!! The ones you see where they just turn the key and they start IMO have already been run up!!
     
  6. Very nice :).

    Might I suggest that your dissy's mis-positioned (poss the dissy driveshaft)? Vac can should be bout 90* clockwise from where yours is.

    And...stick some stock black cardboard/foil tubing in (I personally hate the silver stuff :) )!
     
  7. I'll bet while you were out, your mind was on the garage, and the non start issue! I'm sure you'll do one of those "A Ha" s and make the final adjustment and she'll come to life straight away.
     
  8. Ah yeah baby!! She's running! No oil leaks so far and no bad sounds. So far so good after ten minutes of running :)
     
  9. :mwave:
     
  10. Well, I made it into work this morning! So at the moment I'm very pleased with myself. I am just wondering how long I will be driving round worried that it's going to go bang. Does that feeling ever go away?!
