[T3] Almost home


Firstly thanx for the advice I received on all the questions posted

Now for a update: (Re- She won't do nutting)
Firstly I checked the float chambers - empty - a I have a blocked fuel
line. New fuel line 
Drive her 10 mile and she still will not go as she should - check the
float chambers again - empty
Fit a primary fuel pump (at the fuel tank as I kept the original one as
secondary in the line) as well as a filter between the tank and the
primary pump. 
Lets try again - 10 miles - no, no change well something else is wrong.
Lets check the compression - C1: 100 C2: 100 C3: 60 C4: 100 - Isn't that
a bit low?
Well lets check the valve clearances - C1: no clearance! C2-C4: DITTO
(oops)
I hope there was no damage to the valves!
Reset the clearances to 0.006in as per haynes.(I can never spell this
correctly :-])
Check timing and set correct, and re-check compression - all at 110
(were they damaged or will they re-seat?)
Well she is now at-least driving but still has no power, if I am driving
at 60 mph and put foot there is a immediate drop in power with a
decrease in speed, why is that? I know I am getting fuel, my mix might
be wrong but I don't think it will have such a major affect will it? 

Thanx

Is it true that only a idiot will walk into a wall five times in order
to see if it will be painful every time? O well.............
