couple of links to a recent south island classic truck run

turns out had multiple problems, tight tappets and the carbs had some blocked jets

Old ERF iv been working on at work

iv come to the conclusion there is somthing up in the carbs, so its going to the specialist some time next week for surgery haha

Had similar problems once, and turned out to be battery and alternater were toast as. but i must agree sounds like there is not much compression there

Ok will do that, it has a slightly ground cam, have no specs as this was also already in the engine ( wish i had thought to ask for all these details before i got it)

Not sure to be honest, brought like this, engine was running fine, then exhaust gaskets went as intake/exhaust was loose, so i didnt use it for a few months and finally got round to doing the gaskets, so i done them and now it wont run right.

that one thing i missed, yes there dellorto side draughts

ok

iv got a 4k with twin carbs.

Firstly should i be running vacuum advance? few articles iv read say no and few say yes? your ideas?

What should the dwell angle, points gap and timing be set at? and best way for setting these?

Also im after all this as it idles fine and revs fine. but as soon as i try go up a hill or accelerate fast it bogs down, any ideas?

Cheers

june 16th it is then

When do you all want to have the next meet?

I think we decided its meet at bselect then cruise to kamo mcdonalds?

Generally wednesday nights work for everyone?

agree with above statement

wednesday had a good turnout, maybe stick with that? now someone pick a date

if its late sat we dont havta pay parking, needa have it sumwea that we can show off hahah

Plan was to keep it as a daily, just wana make it look tidy-ish

it actualy goes pretty hard for a lil 4k, so im pretty happy with the engine atm

Any ideas on work to be done or your opinions muchly apprecaited!
