i recently serviced my g lader by myself but now can't get the car started. it turns over fine but just won't fire up, can anyone help me??
cheers Tom
what have you removed from the engine when you did the charger service? does the charger spin freely?
not removed anything just the cone and heat sheald to get it out,. the charger is moving freely, no obstructions etc and is nice and firm, eg, u need a firm grip to turn the pulley.
ok the bolt snapped off into the casting for the earth wire but i've relocated that and the 19mm bolt won't go back in as its really tight and starting to cross thread, but other than that everythings ok,.
any ideas??
does your fuel pump prime when you key on the ignition?
yeah, no problem there.
pull a HT lead off and put a plug on the end of it, earth the plug to the engine and turn the engine over and see if you are getting a spark, try it on all the leads.
its probably the earth not connected mate!
i've re connected the earth but not to the origional location, is that the only earth on the engine??
there should be another earth strap between the top gearbox mount and the chassis leg near the coil.

i have taken this one off mine, car still runs fine.
have you tried the ht lead thing to see if there is a spark?
yeah wasnt suggesting that was the problem but it should be there all the same. If the engine isn't well earthed it can lead to dodgy running problems.
i know what you mean paul ;-)
ill, check for a spark later, maybe its a fuel problem, i did have a similar problem a few months ago.
i've had a simler problem. was the hall sensor on mine thats in the dizzy
have you solved the problem yet?
