Porks bike carbs and boost project

[pork]

Gunna go get some leads now

 

[pork]

That was a mistake!

Almost went up in flames!
Starter started pouring smoke out and really hot!!



So....replace starter?

 

[jamier2007]

I have a starter you can have but its a bit of a drive :/

 

[pork]

Where bouts are you?

 

[jamier2007]

Surrey. RH13AE

 

[pork]

Thanks....bit far

Would a pre face lift cg10 starter fit my k10 box?

 

[h701micra]

So when your starter is getting current is billows smoke?
Its definitely earthed off ok? But at this point I'm starting to suspect starter motor

 

[pork]

All earths are ok

The jump cables went from my running van

It turns over but really struggles, then almost caught fire!

 

[h701micra]

Definitely getting current then if its getting that hot. Usually get hot on a poor earth or its knackered

Could still be the gears binding as it's ever 1 rotation of the motor it bogs down, check the pinion for burrs before consigning it to the bin... also take connections on the motor off and check the resistance of both motor terminals to the case of the motor (assuming its a metal case) to check the windings arn't earthing. Should be greater than 100MOhms

Sounds interesting

Il give it a try too.

 

[h701micra]

I still think you've a wiring issue
That light being on is short somewhere

The handbrake light?

What other wiring could affect it?

 

[h701micra]

I'll have a look at some diagrams see what could clash.
Hard to decipher though there's a lot of wires in there

 

[pork]

Couldn't wait till tomorrow, so ripped it all out, stuck it in vice and done this

 

[h701micra]

Love the comment at the end

So..... Dies anyone know if k11 pre face lift cg10 starter fits my k10 box?

 

[h701micra]

Looks like you're guinea pig Neil

 

[jamier2007]

Comprende. It does fit (I think)

 

[pork]

K11 stater fits and works!!!

Phew!

Had a few coughs and splutters off life whilst cranking.

Left it at that for now as I need a radiator hose, and fit new fuel reg as I snapped old one.

 

[h701micra]

You've ordered a fuel reg right?
Sounds like progress mate be sure to get us a video on the first turnover once its complete

 

[pork]

I've got it already.

Defo have a video compmg

Are the carbs hard to set up?

Are the carbs hard to set up?

Haven't had them balanced, but I think that only really matters on idle.

To get the right jets you need an O2 sensor.......no way round it!

 

[jamier2007]

This is getting exciting

 

[Enuo]

Not really, as the idle adjust screw will compensate a poor idle unless it's REALLY rich (a bit of choke will cure lean running)
Edit: Just realise you lazy lot use auto choke on your carbs so can't use it for diagnosing the state of tune... I miss HS4's...

emissions tester?

 

[pork]

emissions tester?

Wideband O2 sensor kit

I got the innovate LC-1, takes a lot off the guess work out off things

 

[Belly93]

i see i been lookingt at one

 

[pork]

Fitted replacement regulator on today, and radiator hose I was missing,...........play has been delayed due to rain.....lots off rain

Ahhhhhhhhh, I jus wanna see if it works!!!

 

[h701micra]

Haha now that's annoying.
Just enough dry weather to get it ready. Then get rained just before the big moment

[h701micra]

Just makes it all that more worth it

[SirChris]

Fill up gearbox with oil
Fill up with brake fluid
Sort out actuator
Drive it and try not to make it go bang

Soooo happy, it's going in right direction now

 

[pork]

[pork]

[h701micra]

We knew you'd get there
Last niggles then go for that test drives sounds like it runs well too

[Noddie]

Where do i fill up gearbox oil?

Speedo connection

 

[pork]

Speedo connection

All the way till overflowing?

 

[frank]

All the way till overflowing?

level with the plastic cog neil

 

[pork]

level with the plastic cog neil

Nice one

 

[h701micra]

Do you not have the square drive plug at the front/back?

 

[pork]

Do you not have the square drive plug at the front/back?

Not sure, haven't seen one,

 

[h701micra]

Thats the proper fill hole

 

[Noddie]

Only some (later ones maybe?) have a filler plug as far as I know. Shame because the speedo cog can be a rite pita to get out, prepare to brake the little cast lugs and replace them with big washers.

yes the RS5F41 (k10 and pre-facelift 1.0 k11) have no level plug, and if its never been checked, the speedo drive will probably be fused into the casing

Ah mine was a '90 and had the filler plug... and my early B reg K10 was an auto so couldn't compare

I've had the speedo drivre out before when I took all engine and box out, so shouldn't be a problem
