Also on utube dudes, just search for Haynes Roadster and you will get AshG and my vids

well done mate always love to see an engine spring to life.

if you let it idle and warm up you should be able to rev it without killing it. well done for getting it running and putting the vids up. sounds like it is going to be a bit of a monster

Thanks Ash, I was wondering why that was happening.....Dad thinks its because their is no back pressure from the exhaust? Should it not run normally all the time? If it was your dad to day car you would want to start it and drive off?

i think its a bit of both Nick, needs to warm up & with lack of back pressure & maybe drawing too much air can cause it to idle roughly, i,m sure it,ll be right when you get the exhausts on & it warms up fully.

i used to have a 2.8i capri & it ran rough when a sensor went in the air mixture do da, but was a cheap fix & it sorted it.

from what i can see its doing what would normally happen if the choke hadn't cut in.

warm it up and see if it will rev if not then there is a bit more of a problem.

andy you are really showing your age now :D

:o :o yeah i know... tho the capri 2.8i was my first brand new car that i bought...... i was 18 yrs old at the time...... just returned home from the Falklands war........ yes Ash....the year was 1982 :eek:

picture the scene..... a spotty 18yr old youff walks into a Ford main dealer with cash in pocket ....salesman didn,t believe i was serious at first until i showed him the cash :D

bought it & collected it within 24hrs or no deal was my instructions to the salesman, was only home for 6 weeks so wanted as much time with it as poss.

cheers
