cheers guys, you don,t half get a lift from that first successful start.
As I took a closer look at the way it was running, I was sure it was only firing on three pots ..,..on taking the fuel injector lead off cyl No 4 there was no change in tickover ....so switched off and removed spark plug to check that first for wetness and it was so that pointed straight away to the plug itself being knackered, fixed everything up to check and no spark present, checked with a known good plug and totally ok. So this was what was making it run rough, Glad to say, I put another clean plug in and fired it up for a longer test run and it instantly fired into life.....I am well pleased with the tone of the exhaust, on tickover it just purrs like a hefty cat then growls like f**k when you blip the throttle body...... ran it up to temp and no leaks from the cooling system so I can move on to a proper tidy of wiring.....here is another clip of it running at normal running temp.....turn the volume up to see what I mean
