my rst has started to cough and splutter and im not getting much boost the gauge reads 10 psi but im hardly feeling anything at all .Not to sure which way to go could it be cam,timing,ignition,actuator ive fitted new boost hoses.And yesterday put a bleed valve on took it round the block and it boosted to 23 psi for about 1 second before i stopped and it wont adjust to lower it so put the amal valve back on.PLEASE CAN ANY ONE HELP ME

 

please any one

 

Tried the ovious like plugs, leads, rotor arm/cap?

 

not yet just wanted a bit of advice on where to start

 

with the bleed valve just screw it right in and thats min boost after that you need to set your actuator iirc

also would be wort quickly pulling the plugs out and check the condition of them get a torch and check the tops of the pistons through the plug make sure everything looks ok

23psi is quite alot lol hopefully you have not done any damage

try this first

 

it was 23 psi for a split second so i dont thik it did any harm the plugs are sooty overfueling a bit

 

have you checked all boost hoses ?

 

yep all on good and tight would it be worth doing plugs, leads, dizzy,rotor,and timing belt.Also i can get a -31 actuator of a pal can this just be put on then keep adjusting the rod untill it sits at 10 psi?

 

Did it only start doing this after it spiked a 23 psi ?


do you have a timing light ?

 

no it was doing it before thats why i tried the bleed valve to remove the amal from the scene .I can get hold of a timing light and the belt needs changing any way so do you think i should start there

 

check all the timing before you change the belt

im sure theres a guide on here for timing settings

tommy

 

ok ive just been to the shop and noticed i can here what6 i guess is my fuel pump buzzing all the tim i no you here it when it primes but should i here it all the time or am i just picking at things to cure the fault?

 

yes these buz all the time

 

ive had a look and cant find the timing on here would a haynes manual be ok to follow.Also ive got the chance to buy a kent cam and vernier pully for Ł50 is it worth it?

 

i ordered plugs ,dizzy,rotor arm,leads and a timing belt today so will get that lot on this weekend hopefuly does any one have a link to timing settings
