well i opened it up and the flap loosened up by itself, so when i put it back together it kinda just loosned itself up. It must have been that and the combination of new sparks and charging the battery for a lonnnng while.

but i still dont feel its running right. infact im pretty sure its not. the engine shakes a hell of a lot, dont know if thats the mounts or what but it doesnt seem right. I dont know the sound of a missfire, but the engine now doesnt seem to be running smothly. the exhaust kinda surges out smoke and blows out rings !

Ive got a video camera, is there anyway i can show you exactly whats going on?? i think itl be a lot more help...

also, this morning the car didnt start... but the battery has dies quite a bit, the turnover is slower, so im assuming and hoping that these cars need a very fast turnover to start (hense charging battery again...)

I will need to wire the alternator properly, so will let you know when ive sorted out a few other things...
