Good morning.
Yeah, I bought this last week. One of the reasons I bought it is to force myself to get my head around the D-Jet system, and that got me thinking about maybe doing a tech day on getting these set up. I certainly have a lot of questions, and I am sure I'll have troubleshooting to do, which has me wondering if others do here as well? Would there be a interest in a FI tech day, maybe we can find a later FI car so we can compare and contrast? What do you all think? |

First day of actually picking at her and it's been productive so far.
Brakes came up after bleeding them, good firm pedal pressure. Both rear brakes are dragging but that's not unexpected, and I need to adjust them properly tomorrow. Engine oil was clean but changed it anyway, that all looks encouraging. Tested for spark and I'm happy to say that I have some stuff spark. Plugs that were in there looked basically new despite being vintage and had a good color on them. This car has a side shifter that has a little bit of swap at the rear coupler but better than most, and easy enough to address in any case. Going to leave that alone for now until she's running. This car has an aftermarket amplifier that would power Giant stadium, disconnected that and while I was in there I cleaned the electrical leads. That made the starter happy and it cranks with authority now. Headlights came up but no side or tail lights. Hazards don't work, nor do the interior lights are not working either, but that can wait until she's running as well. Handbrake is very sticky and reluctant to move, I cleaned and lubricated the rear connection to the calipers, and that all moves freely so it's the actual assembly in the cockpit that needs attention. At this point it looks like the fuel system is going to require the most attention. The tank is sitting loose in its location and none of the lines or vacuum connections are on. |
