since1875 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I have just put my engine back in the car. After bleeding the fuel the car starts (great) but only runs when i rev it as soon as i take my foot off the accelerator it stalls. Everything seems tight as i though air might be getting in, any help im so close! Quote
Guest Colin Hunter Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 If You've rebuilt this engine with new belts etc, are you SURE that you've timed it up properly. I once got the crank pulley 1 tooth out on a Montego "Perkins" Prima engine which exhibited the same symptoms. I was surprised (And not a little releived) that it did not wreck the engine. Worth a look I think! Cheers. Hope this helps. :D Quote
since1875 Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 Cheers Colin i owe you a pint kind sir! I was so sure i had it right but the crank was just out now she is singing sweet just the brakes to do and she is back on the road, cheers mate Gary Quote
Guest Colin Hunter Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 PHEW! Glad to know it's sorted and you got away with the mistake. Easy enough to make! Cheers. Happy motoring! <_< Quote
