pistonbroke Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Your dizzy cap will need drying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 ive jetwashed loads of engines --take the dizzy apart and dry it out that should sort it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 NA per chance? You probably find water has dropped into the gulley by the plugs, it doesn't really dry out.. you need to get an airline in there and blow the majority out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 ahhh! didnt think of that one Most common one, it usually just collects there and misfires (from experience a few times ) The dizzy usually stays fairly dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the leads go in? Have i got to take anything off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 As you look at the engine, between the two cams... Erm, you sort of need to take the inlet section that runs over the top of the engine off to get access. Not overly difficult, couple of bolts. There is an addition plate that sits in the gulley that you will have to remove, and then start blasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REEEAAALLLYYYYY Erm, you sort of need to take the inlet section that runs over the top of the engine off to get access. Not overly difficult, couple of bolts. There is an addition plate that sits in the gulley that you will have to remove, and then start blasting Bugger, Its more work than i wanted to do but i suppose i have too.
