  1. The auto-reverse is kicking in because it isn't detecting any tape movement, making it think it's at the end of the tape..

     Mirageman is very likely spot on regarding the rubber drive belt, however getting them can be the fun bit.

    See if you can remove the unit and whip the belt out, you might be able to find one online, the other rubber bit that usually goes is the capstan pinch roller, if it's not perished you may as well give it a clean along with the heads with some isopropyl alcohol while the unit is dismantled.

  2. Yea that's what I thought, maybe it's more the case of sellers uploading the wrong pictures? there's also this one that seems to be common but it the wire retainer clip looks different.

    I'm pretty sure I need these.

    But these seem to be the ones available and sellers cant confirm if they fit, and I was quoted $50 each??

  3. continuing to track the misfire issue that started just before the drags..

    A new dizzy cap has made a lot of progress, starting a lot easier, however the missing issue @5kRPM hasn't disappeared, and occasionally is runs like a biartch at any speed.

    Was having a general look about the engine bay when I saw that one of the injector plugs looked like they were missing part of the body, the whole thing looks a bit brittle.

    Engine stalled as soon as I touched the plug

    Opened it up and found the pins were corroded, this is after I removed the majority of the corrosion

    The corrosion seems to travel down the wires a bit too, so I'll need to replace some of the wiring loom to the injectors and the plugs.

    As soon as I tried to remove the 2nd plug the front part with the wire clip part broke off

    So..I'm on the lookout for a supplier for the plugs, problem is there seems to be a few that look similar but dont fit and google image searches lead me to a whole lot of dead ends overseas, anyone know the correct number/name of this plug?, and/or local supplier which doesn't charge $50+ per plug?

  4. Lol, I would have taken that opportunity so I can't believe I lined myself up for that one

    Let me rephrase that... actually no, I have the feeling I'm  not going to win this one. :)

     

    But if anyone is selling a train horn, give me a toot.

  5. Thanks Mr V for organising a sweet shed tour as well as the providers of sheds and also to the other OS'ers who decided to brave the precipitation.

    Epic sheds coupled with many epic sharn's and epic cake.
