FOR SALE - Drew and Alan's sidecar build

[Madness]

Killswitch?

[Drew]

Got fuel and spark. It's a timing sounding issue.

[Mental Trousers]

Is it still fuel injected? If it is plug in the computer and find out what the errors are.

No dash for it. Nothing to show the fault codes on.

FFS.... BLAME YA PASSENGER!!!!

No dash maybe why it won't fire. That or there's sensors not connected/registering.

if hes got spark, fuel and air then its a bit odd. timing and compression are the last basics..

spark plug leads on the right way bro? haha

As Kaiser says, it sparks and fuels. If it needed a dash it wouldn't do one of those things.

We've got a full workshop manual and everything is wired up right. Plug top coils (so one for each slug) with the right coloured wires to each.

When we first wound it over to circulate oil, without the fuel pump hooked up we also didn't have the crank angle sensor plugged in. I'm wondering if it counted the cam turns and when we plugged in the cranks sensor it has thought it was on a different stroke to where it really is.

Nah, Drews trying to run it on water............

[Drew]

Nah, Drews trying to run it on water............

Hahahaha, Al sprung for some actual petrol. I'll fire it up on that first.

Gonna check the cam timing from scratch to be sure today...Never know with second motors ya know.

[nodrog:Me]

[Drew]

Yeah thanks for that Gordie. I can only assume you posted that to offer us your motor as a gift.

Be up to pick it up tomorrow...Piss up at Gordies y'all!

Just a heads up.......... the camshaft with IN on it goes closest to the inlet manifold (back of sidecar), and the EX one goes closest to the front of the rig - closest to the front wheel.............

That's about the limit of my mechanical knowledge............


Sorry, I do need to point out that they do go in the engine, not by the front wheel etc...

Heres an old mechanic's mantra. For an engine to run it needs FACTS, no not the bit of skin between the. . . . . well you know where. You need Fuel, Air, Compression, Timing, Spark. so work through that one, & once you have that sorted it will run.
