Tune Up For The Old Girl?

[n0ve]

heya

the old motor is sounding a bit rough, and she needs a tune up..

what exactly do i do for a tune up? ive done a few oil changes, new plugs and leads what else is there?

[Sam_Q]

points, rotor button, dizzy cap and the timing I think

Nah the 82's have an electronic dizzy.

Carby perhaps?

Carby perhaps?

 

When you saw my AE82 last week you said it didn't have a electronic dizzy.

Some do, some don't.

[Kid-Ae]

But it does have a carby mate.. lol silly bugger.. haha it may just but i saw a dizzy cap and went yep. could be electronic ignition..

how many km on the clock?

 

how much do you want to spend?

 

If you are throwing cash at it you could do:

 

timing belt

carby service\ swap.

replace the coil

Plugs and leads

dizzy cap (points and condenser if it has them)

coolant change

oil and filter.

Gearbox oil

 

 

But I would start with a compression test first, just to make sure the engine is worth it.

I have never seen or heard of an AE82 with a points dizzy, Even the AE80 with a 2A i got the other day is electronic.

its got abit over 85000kms original :P

 

i want to keep it running in good nick, so i don't mind spending a little on it..

whats should i do for the coil? just take it into an auto sparky and get them to test it?

i reckon the carby could do with a service, whats involved if i wanted to hava go myself?

cheers guys

i found this carb kit on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-Truck-...p3756.m20.l1116

 

it looks like what i need, is it?

 

ive got a gregorys workshop manual which tells me how to service the carby, is there any thing that i should be careful of or look out for?

first time doing anything like this so I'm abit paranoid ill smeg it up :(

[xstatic]

if u don't know what u are doing with cars like me this is probably throwing urself into the deep end.

 

i would try easier stuff sprark plugs, leads, oil change and crap like that first.

 

as hot as that chick is i dunno what shes got to do with what he's selling

 

cheers

well i spent a few dollars over the weekend to start the tune up.

bought new ignition coil, leads and plugs. oil, filter, oil n radiator flush, coolant, rust inhibitor, carby cleaner and rocket cover gasket and silicone sealant.

so the next few days ill be ready to give her a decent tuneup.

wish me luck...
