SORTED

MOT tomorrow

What was it

the Throttle position sensor was worn so it would rev then vibrate, loose contact and put it in to auto shutdown just like an EPIC throttle

[Guy88]

Never made the MOT

Re booked for monday

Shese pretty much done apart from lack of fuel at high revs which i think is the swirl pot output

[Guy88]

Some more pics now shes back together.

Had to replace my low pressure pump because it couldnt keep up at high revvs and the swirl pot emptied

New Facet red top


Swirl pot

i think sierras have different sized rads in - i measured a few up and a twin cam one wouldnt go in a transit mk3

[custom]

ahh i see maybe with mine being a mk5 its a different size then

[Guy88]

I decided today to put in a return from the swirl pot to the tank

Also did a little bit of welding.

One question. thi pipe i have T'd into for the return runs up the filler neck and joins at the top. looks like its come from the top of the tank adn its 16mm I/D. what is it Iv found the small breater and its not that but it connects next to it

[Guy88]

FAILED

But i now know what needs doing

Basically

Windscreen banners got to come off
Handbrake lever comes up too far
