nice work man, how much did that mig cost you? I'm lookin at getting one rather then a gasless one, i was thinking of doing sheet and weld rather then bog, as the little spots i have done suck really bad haha

[lumina78ke55]

mig was borrowed but ive heard gas ones are better...

[lumina78ke55]

.also bought a battery charger yesterday so i got the 'daily' started today...

looking to get some more done on the rolla soon.hopefully

[greenmac80]

most mig welders can do either gas or gasless. gasless is fine for car panels.. jst spot weld and keep it cool.

want to hear the old girl running with the new pipe but she starving herself of fuel....

i pored some petty down her thoat she kicked over so its definately fuel related

the lines to the carby were dry to start with but i was able to suck the fuel up to the carby... (ps gota love the taste of premium in the arvo haha)

but it wont pull the fuel through when i try to start it

thinking a new filter for starts, failing that i guess ill probly be up for a new pump... more $$$$$ to spend YAY

(opened up the pump and it had fuel inside, lucky i was wearing a rubber glove when i did or that cut would have cause some form of discomfort)

 

any other ideas people?

[Oh-KE]

i got no idea man but i got a fuel pump here off a 4k ke70 you can have for 5 bucks if you want, don't know if it works though haha but it should...

 

keep up the good work on this little beauty :D

ah also i want to get this baby sitting a little lower too.. but ive only got 8cm till I'm on the bump stops on the rear and bout 14cm from body to turf :D i want lower damn it...!!

so ill be getting some blocks for the rear and get out the angle grinder for the fronts...and ill try keep my fingers well clear this time haha

[lumina78ke55]

ok so just picked up a new fuel filter,fuel pump,2m of new hose for fuel lines,oil pan gasket,oil,oil drip tray and some clips (another $150 gone)

when i got home from the shops i had a message on face book from the previous owner telling me the fuel pump is near new...... damn it!!!

i must say it doesnt look very new but hey. so if this doesnt work then i guess ill be pulling the carby apart... really hope i don't have to.. but if i do i guess ill learn something new :D

also ive found that i can't get hold of the R/H engine mount..."discontinued"

can still get the L/H which is the one i need but want to do them both... hmmm

[Clapped out]

Where did you go to about the r/h engine mount? i purchased one only a couple of weeks ago, had no probs getting it, it had to be made in s.a. then sent up here to qld.

or there are these.. they will work but sit your engine a little lower or higher.. unsure which way but they will work anyways.
