Mi Won't Start

[Masekwm 2]

New starter, engine spins, no start.

 

Got fuel, got spark, got air. Bum.

 

I need to check the compression and timing, chances are I've flooded it badly as the plugs were covered in petrol. Doh!

sounds like you have it in order give the plugs a clean then try it the timing etc etc

Mixed up lead order on the dizzy cap , cam timing out , bad compression ... that's what might be wrong if you have spark and fuel but it wont go - bang though the spark might be too weak and the fueling too rich/lean but if it was fine before me thinks that it'll be one of the first three symptoms ...

I'm going to compression test it tomorrow, then at the weekend I'm going to change the plugs, firstly because I know it's been flooded badly, not once but twice and to rule them out, I'll then crack on and check the timing.

 

I've found another user with exactly the same issue with the same pop from the exhaust too! link just they don't say how they solved it!

 

It can't be leads, I only remove one at a time.

 

It's not fun trying to sort the car whilst trying to do MOT repairs on another and attend night school too!

The Mrs had a late start this morning, so I pulled a plug out and asked her to pop to the factors before work to get four replacements, the plug absolutely stunk of fuel.

 

Going to turn it a few times without the plugs in and injectors off and then a few times with just the new plugs before I reconnect the injection.

[Masekwm 2]

Plugs out, injection off, engine spins.

 

New Plugs in, slightly different note.

 

Injection on, as Alistair once said "bwarp", damn I love that sound

 

Now to get it moted as it's ticket ran out on Sunday

 

Thanks everyone.
