Hi everyone, after 7 years my Mk1 PI is finally back on the road!!
It passed it's Warrant of Fitness (WOF) re-test with the tester only
commenting on the exhaust note!!! Since then (thursday before last) I've
been spending evenings road testing it ready for the drive over to Napier
for the New Zealand Triumph 2000-2500-2.5 Registers national rally on the
2nd of next month.
There's quite a difference between running the engine in the garage and
running it out on the open road and in the city!, if your PI feels like the
overdrive (if it's got one!) is cutting in and out, but isn't, check the
injectors. I found No.1 injector pipe had air in it and it was going on 5
then 6 cylinders, but it felt just like either the overdrive, distributor or
plug leads were faulty. Now it's piking!, so today has been spent jumping in
and out of the old thing on a deserted coast road (where the neighbours
can't complain!!) getting it right!! and I did, the pinkings gone and it's
pulling really well. Now I'll see if it'll do more then 7
miles-per-gallon!!!!!
All the best
Dave W
