[james3004]

Finally got the beast to start an run! Still alot of tweaking to do and it won't rev up on the throttle but it's a start!

Sound not so good on the video sound knocky but its a start!

Wooooo! Well done mate!
Now hurry up and get her finished so I can have a go - I want to see what another 100bhp feels like before I decide whether to turbo mine or not :D

sounds like it's may be missing a cyclinder.

Remove each HT in turn and see if it makes any difference. Turn the engine off to avoid an electric shock. If it runs worse on three of them but one makes no difference then you have found which one is providing no power.

Way to go buddy.....;) ;)
One eck of an achievement and I bet a good feeling..:)

Another alternative is to pull injector plugs while the engine is running.

Effin great when you get your first start.....well done bud.;)

Congrats. It's always a good day when you get an engine to start!

[james3004]

It's a great feeling that it starts! The next goalpost will be the first drive!

Yep good option if you can get to them.

This seems to baffling my little mind a bit!

Removed leads to check and it appears that leads 2 and 3 dont make a dffence although they are sparking!?!?

unless it's the injectors which were brand new?

It can't possibly run on 2 cyliders can it?

Maybe its 180 degrees out but then surley the timing marks wouldn't line up when I use the timing light?

:confused::confused: :confused:

[K4KEV]

have you got the right firing order correct...it is usually 1-3-4-2 ......1 being at the front of the engine

[twinturbo]

if you can swap the injector plugs and see if the fault follows the injectors or the leads.

[james3004]

That's not really possible think I'm gonna have to swap the injectors over:rolleyes:

Just spoke to my friendly neighbourhood ex honda technician and he lent me a compression tester and said it could possibly be a sticky valve as the engine hasn't been run for a few years! So roll on tomorrow evening when I can get back to the workshop!

[james3004]

I've done a compression test tonight all cylinders are 8- 8. 5 bar apart from number 3 which is 4 bar so the next move is to investigate the vavles on said cylinder
