Hi Guys
I need help with my VL. My partner (drives a HR Holden) re bulilt my motor as had another cracked head! So brand new in the car, going great. Well only trouble was that my temp kept going half way. So went out and brought a 3 core radiator and still going half way! Why? Replaced the thermostat! Yes has coolant!
So on Thursday for the first time in months, filled my car up with premium unleaded. Leaked behind the back wheel. (partner fixed that) Coming home Friday lunch time, I was going slow she started like acting as if strarving for fuel!
Partner checking everything said well maybe fuel regulator. So I brought a new one and has replaced it. Nope, still idling really carp. (Maybe it wasn't the fuel reg!!) Sort of start it but rev it and sort of ok but just dies in the ass (partner's words)
He checked the timing, its ok. Fuel pump ok - steady flow there! Checked the fuses, Did a self diagnosis, saying its fine. Oh and he checked the Timing Cam. Plus the cap thing with the leads coming out. No dust or water.
So he has been charging my battery overnight but that's not the prob.
LIke i said, its a re buillt motor, ive only done about 357 km and only problem like I said, since the re bulid is the radiator, but the problem is the idling.
Since I put petrol in, bloody 49 litres and cost me $75 bucks! So Im losing a bit of petol and ain't going no where. (Well now should be no petrol loss as he fixed the part behind the back wheel))
Partner getting the shits, sick of looking at it plus my bro has a VL as well.
Its not a turbo and just standard as. (motor wise)
Ive looked at other posts ..
Need help .. Partner reackons I should ring NRMA ..
