Thanks guys I linked up a spare gallon I had with some temp pipe and it ran. So I checked for blockages by sucking the fuel supply pipe some mouthful of petrol later it all seems to be running fine though had a slight leak on the return pipe from the carb but chopped the end off and this cured it!! ...

Thank Steve

Might have a go anyway. Seems odd that the JK version is £15 and JK say the GSF verison is the same but £45.

thanks

just campers say they have a odd batch that require mods to fit..what's that about?

Not the fuel pump won't start :? but the engine won't cos the fuel pump doesn't have enough suck. The 1.9 dg 'velle has been standing about for couple of weeks and the fuel level appears to have dropped back to the tank in the supply hose. I would like to 'syphon' this back but can't figure out how....

I have and '86 'velle with 1.9 DG engine 2 issues 1. the gearbox filler nut is seized - any ideas about getting it out without melting the gearbox or rounding off the nut? 2. Drained the coolant and refilled with G12+ according to the tech section. now have an air lock that only appears about an hou...

i had this too. new starter didn't fix it but a better battery more (Ah and CCA) did.

Thanks. Always start with clutch depressed in case someone left it in gear and lower the load of turning the 'box.

sounds like we have similar start issues???

read the stuff on starting on the technical and nothing sounds like it... :roll: excwpt am thinking of looking at the earthing behind the fuses as i do have a water leak around there. the chattering is more like graunching!! not solenoid more like poor meshing of cogs!! think the positive comes off ...

Ok I've check the connections and added a engine earth strap and still the starter is chattering and turning the engine slowly. Volts are good and battery though not new, is in good condish. changed the start bush and the starter is quite new. engine compression is between 150 and 180 around the cyl...

Mark - i clened the connections and the starter body and bellhousing surface. didn't notice an earthstrap around there. maybe that's the problem!!

Got quite a nice earth stap from halfords fro about £6 just need to choose a go place to put it.

my starter turns slowly sometimes and worse when cold. Iwas advised was bad earth. Cleaned it all up got a bit better but still iffy. Was wondering where the original engine earthstrap is and where best to place new one. Will this make it any better???

i have changed the bumpstops . maybe i'll try that first.

cheers

did you change the dampers when you lowered with JK springs? i bought the 40 mm kit expecting to keep the ride practical but JK 40 springs lowered it 60mm. this is the 2nd set so... can't be just me

anyway i think the from dampers bottom out hitting bumps at speed.

the weather at the weekend put me off so still don't know

oh nuts the starters quite new. i'll have alook at it again this weekedn and charge the abttery too
