Shortage of funds and could not get the engine to start, it was cheaper to buy a known running engine complete with carbs and sell the other engine and carbs etc separately.. I could not move forward with the build without getting the car running.

Some interesting stuff off topic, So my carb is the wrong way round and my intake sucks :) (see what I did there). Only had the car 3 weeks and lots could change, oddly enough it didn't need the low manifold as I had enough room to fit a 1 inch spacer... I do have another car that could at some poin...

Warm start up problems.. Weber 500
Hi, Just got a Stag with a Weber (eldebrock) 500 carb and JWR manifold on a RV8, starts great from cold, and if you stop for a minute or so while warm it fires up straight away. Leave it more than a minute and it cranks for 10 seconds before firing up, no one wants that ! Where should I look first ?...

To put an end to my original problem, I have purchased a bigger radiator, added an expansion tank, checked the thermostat and water pump... and I think my main problem was the gauge needed a voltage stabiliser as it is showing hotter than the engine actually is :oops: So after spending a few hundred...

Thanks for the replies, It does have a heater and the hoses are fully heated, no way to turn it off though, its a very basic car at the moment ! I spotted one of those at JJC and thought that was the best solution, and yes that price is outrageous ... I will have to get a better rad and use the hose...

Won't stay cool..
Hi folks, I am slowly getting there with the Moss but I am having trouble with the cooling system. I am after advise and I have my own theory and will explain and show pics :) The rad is not a V8 one, no idea what its from but it seemed large enough so I built things around this one. The hose outlet...

Front cover / water pump swaps
Hi guys,
I think I have decided to go with the Range Rover v8 from my 97 P38 in the Moss, question is can I swap the front cover and p6 water pump etc from the p6 to the RR engine ?
Won't need all the fancy power steering etc and space is a premium ..
Thanks
Stu

Righto, here's where I am at: Set tdc etc put in dizzy, I get lots of popping inside the cylinder head, not back through the carb, though just to check I have taken out the dizzy, turned it 180 and I get no pops or bangs at all so assume I have set the dizzu correctly. I can't get past this stage ri...
