HighLUX 32,891 Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Fixed the welder with a bit of wiring tracing and looking at stzz. Took out the circuit board behind the wire speed knob, cleaned years of garage dust/metal filling mix off the board which could of been bridging some circuits and doing something funny then there was a big grey box on the board that I guessed was a relay so gave that a tap with a screw driver and its back to working properly which is great because I didnt wanna have to buy a new welder 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nominal 56,781 Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Nice I got the Commondore engine running after pulling the injector rail out and spraying fuel all around the garage. Swapped a couple of dead ones with working ones from the old engine and it fires up OK now. Have to finish up the plumbing for the cooling system before test drives. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yowzer 33,977 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 How dumb is it that MA is restricted to 35% on the rear windows but everything else can be blacked out completely? What is the reasoning behind that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bling 21,090 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Business use type vehicle, well at least more often than MA standard car? Only reason I can think of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RUNAMUCK 29,081 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Would it need to be registered as a goods vehicle though? User type NA rather than MA? And perhaps have more expensive rego? (Its over 40 years old anyway, but it's nice to know so I dont get fisted by some.power tripping nazi copper at some.point) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RUNAMUCK 29,081 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 That said, it's not going to have metal mulisha/FOX etc stickers on the rear window either. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TimShadboltfan27 4,780 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 my EF civic does this weird intermittent thing where it dies as soon as you disengage the key/starter. only does it sometimes, and you can keep the revs up and sometimes save it or hold the key on and keep the starter winding and it sorts itself out. this morning i had much trouble getting it to start and when it did it cut out a few times before i managed to save it with a bit of choke and mashing the throttle. I dont think its a usual culprit like a vaccuum leak or carb issue cos the car runs fine once it starts up (eventually). Am i right to suspect it may be the fuel pump? Google has suggested the ignition module as well but im leaning more towards fuel pump being a lemon anything else to check? anyone had similar issue? D15B motor.

kyteler 60,543 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Those Honda ign modules are notorious for fucking out but it would be unlikely if it runs fine afterwards. When the one on my City fucked out it wouldn't go at all, thats not to say that they don't have varying levels of out fuckery however. Is it mechanical or electric fuel pump? Are you sure it's not just that you're a noob with the choke? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

igor 12,791 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 My wife's Laser was hard to start for some months. Once started it ran fine. The problem was thought by many to be fuel related but eventually turned out to be a faulty ignition module. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
