My Bay won't start! Please read!

I can't believe no one has checked yet to see what oil it has in it!

 

Maybe it's been timed up with number 4 (or any number between 1 and 4 ) instead of number 1 as TDC?

 

My tablet run out of charge! I will call you back later in maybe an hour? So sorry!

 

No problem!

 

Plug leads were on the wrong way,dizzy cap was seated good,rotor was seated good,carbon tip inside dizzy cap is there.Some vacumm pipes not connected,brake vacuum split on manifold! Told hom to try and tape it up best as possible.Missing foam seal around motor.

 

Its good to see hes got a navigator now

 

Colin,you can clearly see which way the spark plug leads are attached here.

 

Some other pics,all from google images.

 

Cracking thread this! Quick question... What symptoms would a missing foam seal around motor cause? I ask because mine is disintegrating.

 

He got it started but he can hear a hissing sound,probaby from one of the vacuum lines split.
Success! Showed him on skype the bentley manual and the john muir one.

 

Loss of power due to overheating

 

Cracking ormissing seal will cause the motor to overheat,it seperates the hot side from the cold side of the motor,the cold side being the bit you see when you open the engine room noisy cupboard door.

 

Hi, my mechanic friend screwed this thing (which I circled in the photo) saying he was making it idle easier. Could this be causing a problem too?

 

Legend!

 

Is it running now then?

(edit: sorry just seen that it is)

 

Beat him off with a stick! Dont screw that,that will make your carbs not synchronised.
If he wants to adjust the idle its on top of the carb.screw the thing the mechanic screwd back to where it was.
As soon as you fix the hissing sound and stop all vacuum leaks then you can adjust the idle.

 

Barely because of the vacuum leaks,hopefully he will get them sealed.
If i was there i would be running and running well.
