ITS ALIVE

buzzing had it started and now have sorted most of the wiring tbh alot of its gone

matt way gets all the credit for getting it running

still few things to do

throttle cable and linkage then i should be able to drive it Waaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

What was the problem then mate?

And how's it running? Have the carb's got they're standard jets?

M

it needed a wire or 2 going to the coil i think my mate sorted it

god knows about jets i just bought the carbs

it seemed to be running ok execpt was proper loud due the downpipe gaskets gone haha

it was running with the ecu in to prime to fuel pump ,I'm onli running the intank btw

so once it was running my mate ditched all the ecu and wiring etc and he wired few things to relays

i dunno dont really understand electrics atall tbh then once that was done went to crank it and battery was flat so its on charge and hopfully starts 2moz :)

then just balence them,fit a bmx cable for a throttle cable and redo the gear linkage again

cheers

if i had the cash i would but i owe matt fo parts haha and cant afford that much

looks like the left 2 carbs are just filling up jets blocked we think so there coming to bits and blown out

cheers

this is looking fantastic bud well done and kudos to matt

best using you original cable mate, bmx cables are ok, and I'm using one now.

Bmx/bike cables can get sticky and get kinks in them being so thin. causing sticky revs, which can be anoying and dangerous while in gear.

Just grind the original polo cable nipple () down and make it fit , unfortunatly i cannot use mine as my battery decided to melt it
