Whats the catch?
Turbo Mini Forums

I have finished building the turbo kit to the car. have a nice spark, have a nice and consistent 3,5 psi fuel pressure to the carb, have nice loads of 14vdc available, have petrol in the plenum, turns over nicely, kicks in. BUT IT WON'T F***NG START OR IDLE OR RUN. getting feddup a bit now.
any idea's?

do you mean the plenum is flooding??

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

yes it was, than i cleaned it out and opened the float chamber tried out the float and needle, assembled the lot and now the plenum seems not to flood anymore, I have plenty of fuel but the spark plugs remain dry? it hickups a bit and stalls?

have you u made sure that the gasket to plenum has little hole in it , to balance , take off plenum and look at gasket on back of carb , are any holes blocked by hte gasket.

I forgot the basics 1342. now it ran with about 4psi boost, not bad for a start, it flew out of the street and I got wow and than I wrecked the gearbox. I had to be towed home. wife don't understand.
now i can't get it started anymore, the fuel feed goes prtl frtl.
BUT TURBO HAS BECOME BACK IN FAVORIT AGAIN.

Fuel flow is interupted its not a full decent pressurized flow it sputters and goes prtl frtl, i dont know another word for this. it looks like its sucking in air.
However the gearbox have set me back a couple of weeks (months) now.
However The thing runs and boosts, I know that I am on the right track now, I had the experiance with turboing now. done 7500 RPM in third gear sofar, got scary, than the gearbox got screwed.
