if you were driving it the engine would of died

Oooo Cheapshot

[- Danny Boy -]

that was so bad Jon...

[jonboisescort]

bike carbs are now fitted and run not great but still its running

the problem at the moment is the mechanical fuel pump is pumping

to much fuel so need to fit a regulator or some way of reducing the pressure

tomorrow i will be making some bracing to hold the carbs secure

and sort the fuel problem





a subtle sticker


a video of them idleing

[hb69]

Doesnt seem to idle too badly

Needs a video of it out on the road

[Ratspeed]

Proper!!

[jonboisescort]

cheers fellas fingers crossed i can sort the fuel pressure out as its just dumping fuel everywere

will get another vid once its running properly

[Ruishy1]

go on my son

get it running right, then take it for a blast and record it, would like to see what numbers you could get from this homebrew engine

[- Danny Boy -]

That is awesome Jon! Get it running then come round my house and take me out for a spin

It sure does sound good, be even better when running properly Good stuff

[muz]

I've got to say, I really do love your approach to budget modifying.

[rsonblackwheels]

sounds very nice and seems to idle quite nicly

gunna sound nutz on full chat, can't wait to hear it

keep up the good work

[jonboisescort]

cheers fellas

i dont have a lot of money so trying to do this on the cheapo

i think i have now sorted the fuel pressure using a aprilla rs 125 fuel tank valve thing

and used a fuel pressure gauge to adjust it to were i want it and its now running 3 psi


by the time i done it today its a bit late to see how it drives

but it idles at just under 1000rpm


so will get some pics tomoz of it and a video of it driving or atleast revving

so far this has cost me no more than £40 to do

[jonboisescort]

they are now running alot better and found a fuel cut off valve to regulate the

pressure instead of the rs125 valve thing

it drives nicley but idling a bit high but thats not a major problem

will be getting a mate to have a look at the carbs to see how the are doing


i am really happy and the noise is emense


another video







really close to the brake fluid bottle some cable ties sorted it for now



hub caps




the next thing to do is relocate the heater fan and box and make a air box with a cold air feed coming from the vents on the bonnet

[fiend]

That sounds awesome, can't believe it only cost £40 to do!!

Can't wait to see a video of it at full chat.

[jonboisescort]

make it nearlly £60 now as that cut off valve cost me nearlly £15

and got no money till next monday to put petrol in

will get a vid out on the road once ive sorted the last few little problems out

[EUFez]

Yeah boy!

[M1K3Y_B]

[rsonblackwheels]

[Ratspeed]

[jonboisescort]

hub caps are the way forward

[- Danny Boy -]

i bet you cant wait to get this on the road

[Smo]

Haha, for what you're spending, that sounds right groovy

Get some more vids up as soon as you can afford the petrol

[jonboisescort]

bad news





went out first thing this morning to sort the final little problems out

done some of them so thought i would check the oil level

and i took the dipstick out and it had loads of white stuff on

thought great so checked the filler cap more white crapo

so off come the rocker cover to see loads of it


then decided to take the head off and have a look

didnt look like the head gasket had gone so the heads off to get checked and maybe skimmed

hopefully get it back tomorrow and can put it all back together saturday


was really hoping to get it out on the road today owell

[jonboisescort]

used it as an exuse to tidy the engine bay up a bit

[jonyb4]

very nice mate, you keep inspriring me to do stuff to my car, im going to do some engine painting, make it all a bit more subtle, im going to start with matt blacking my heat shield, and them my rocker cover and paint the filler cap yellow, hope the engines ok i love this car keep at it mate

[dangerousdave]

prob the way your breathers are setup mate are you ment to have 2 pipes coming from the rocker and are they ment to be that long??
only seen my fez once in a year, only done about 5 miles in 2 years lol so cant remember

[jonboisescort]

its now back together and seems to be running fine

also done a compression test on it today t make sure its all sweet

and all come out at 120

just needs a bit of tuning to get the most out of the carbs

[jonboisescort]

nope wasnt going on a zetec there carbs so its just 1 fuel line and it runs off a dizzy

car looks the nuts mate loving the budget bike car set-up, im looking to do them on my mk1, hopfuly for the same price as u! lol

it can be done very cheaply indeed at the moment its running ok but isnt that much quicker than when i had the old carb on

but they do need tuning

[landanimal]

love it jon didnt know you got this far! still neeed to finish my fiesta though i cant find an oil pick up pipe but i still need to go to trents. i took some more of that sound matting stuff out today it actually weighs quite alot for what it is.

[jonboisescort]

just need to source a gearbox and a clutch as these are a bit iffy 5 gear has an annying whistle
