Nothing wrong with the original nylon, even when operating with modern fuels. +1 for nylon. I put a new set on mine a couple of years ago. They came from Limora (I'm in Germany) which is SC Parts in the UK. They're fine but we're expensive. I'd go to Carl Fiitchett / Prestige Injection in Cheadle if I were you. Good luck!

Mike Morris Posted January 15 Author Report Share Posted January 15 I'm back !!!! Fitted new nylon hoses from TR Trader - thank you Carl, top bloke. Engine no 1 TDC - no 6 on the metering unit fully open. Car will not start. Dizzy pointing at no 1 Checked plugs - ok strong spark Checked injectors - could be better. Replaced all 6 injectors - thanks again Carl - bled injectors. Car will still not start? Checked plugs which are wet so getting fuel. What am I missing????? Thanks for any words of wisdom. At the moment its a bloody big yellow brick in the garage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk2 Chopper Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Should you not be seeing a crescent shape in no.6 on the metering unit? Can't remember which side it needs to be though. Gareth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gareth Yes you should And don’t forget the position the crescent appears in is different depending on wether it’s a CP or CR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PodOne Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Fuel, spark should start. Firing order correct? Try a blast of easy start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Morris Posted January 15 Author Report Share Posted January 15 Firing order correct. I think it is the timing. How would I set no1 at 10 degrees before TDC with the engine not running? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How would I set no1 at 10 degrees before TDC with the engine not running? Simple static timing with a light bulb wire and two crocodile clips. John Twiss of University Motors did a video for MG which is the same technique for TR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
