I've been trying to track down the source of some electrical problems with the signals and fan blower for the last few days and sorted the last one out today, everything is working now. Have also been trying to get the engine running smoothly, on start up the engine races up to 2000 rpm then stalls with spitting out of the front of the carbs. There is a guy in our local club who, like many of the members here, is an SU guru. He's stopping by my place on Friday morning to do the initial setup and balancing and hopefully that part of the resto will be taken care of. I have reinstalled the old rusty exhaust system because the MSA system that was ordered back in June is not showing up anytime soon, I'm thinking of scooting the car up some back roads to a custom muffler shop 20 mins away and have them build one. Nice and warm today so opened the garage door to see what the paint looks like in the sun.

Thank you Steve. Unfortunately it's going to be sometime before the next major update on the Z - I need to get the X1/9 prepped for BaT, and get some more tidying taken care of beforehand. So, keeping track of what happens in-between helps me😁 Z is back inside, I'm going to drive the X1/9 while the weather is clear for a couple days, also to make sure all is good with it

They'll have to pry this new one from my cold, callous coverd dead hands.

Thanks, Yarb. I saw the Feb date but not the year. lol

So instead of guns I can run leaf blowers, weedeaters and chainsaws to the west without much penalty. I can stay with you when I do a run? ❤

yes sir.

Amazing that old flasher is still ticking!

I'm measuring 1.8" or 46mm

Snipped from S30-heater.pdf. That file may be on the downloads, but I couldn't find it easily.

So my wife is wrong. I AM good for something! I'm glad you could get to the bottom of your problem.

Success, I did the ohm readings and you can see from my chart compared to Steve's chart that the left #4 terminal and the right #6 terminal where not getting power from #5. I took the switch apart again and bent the #4 and #6 contacts down a fraction of a millimetre and I also put a thin spacer under the spring so the contact toggle would make firm contact when switched to left or right. It is working perfectly now. Thanks @SteveJ
