Hi all, Got the 1y into my van The engine started first time on the button but will not rev Have changed the timing belt so i am thinking that I have probably got the timing slightly wrong. But can anyone think of anything else it might be? I am using the 1y pump and I drove the seat it came out of before taking the engine out.

Thanks in advance Richie
The two banjos that go to the pump inlet and outlet - its vital they are the correct way round. The inlet banjo is the largest of the two (looking at the hole on the inside of the banjo).
I got these mixed up once and i couldnt rev either.
Its probably not that but its worth a look!
Does it sound rubbish when ticking over or sound normal?
was just wondering how you fixed this as the other week i was tinkering with my 1y throttle lever on the pump to see if i could modify it better ,tightened it up it wouldnt rev .anyway i noticed that the lever spindle actually moved in and out and i think if its in the ' in ' posistion it wont rev..i think
anyway i undid it and tried again and it was fine..was just wondering ,thats all

That sounds basically what had happened to me. Was meaning to post my resolution but kept on forgetting . Thanks for all your input guys Did you manage to sort out the exhaust was following your thread did you manage to sort it and is there any photos!!
im still using the old back box with the downpipe i made up..the one in the photos.its seems a lot better than before and im happy with it.the other week i had a look at the exhaust mounts and found that one of them didnt have any bolts in it ..theres 3 of em ,if you havent looked.anyway the one at the right of the exhaust wasnt very clever so i swapped it for the one that fits at the other end on the top and its even quieter now,before i had a funny noise when i de-celerated and it was the one with the bolts missing that was flapping about.
when i get some cash to spare i wouldnt mind getting some stainless and having another go at it but untill then ill stick with the mild steel one
