Guys Thanks to the list and the ongoing work on my car, I had one of the best runs out ever. It was a lovelly day here in the UK yesterday and I managed to get in a 100 mile run.
Only a couple of minor issues, running on after stopping and a strange thing about the temp guage. Followers of my ongoing saga will have seen the problems I had with the fuel guage. This was fixed by a new fuel sender unit and a voltage stabilizer. As some group members suggested, this would probably uncover an overheating problem as the guages were now receiving the right voltage. You guessed it, thats the case. Temp guage over over the top of the Hot mark. I am somewhat suspicious though as the engine didnt seem to get that hot. Checked the Temp Guage sender unit and it reads the 1000ohm when cold, or thereabouts. Got her to warm and yes it drops. Got to the hot but it doesnt get as low as 50 ohm. Whilst warming her up in the garage, I noticed that when I increased the revs both the fuel and temp guage rise quite rapidly, ease off and they drop back. Am running still with the original dynamo but it sounds like too many volts are coming through as the revs increase. Did notice when I returned to town yesterday that as I started driving down the back roads the temp guage dropped. I dont believe there are any issues with my cooling system but something strange is occuring. Any ideas? Martin '63 Spit4 *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
