i'm back!

hi guys, sorry its been a while, ive been pretty busy with work and stuff.

the sj is still going, all be a few problems

had a rather eventful trip to Tavistock in it. the su was running a bit weak and she kept back firing and
cutting out. 10 seconds with a screwdriver and she was all good!!

however its done it again a couple times now in the cold weather. plodding along bout 40 ish, cold and p*ssing down with rain, she dies, no warning or anything. fired her back up and all was fine...

a mechanic friend said it could be where im missing the warm air intake and the s.u is freezing up? so i have some jobs for the weekend it would seem...

does anyone know the diameter of the air intake on the 410 santana? just so i can order some up?

its good to be back!!

Back firing ore likely to be an ignition problem I would think, dizzy cap/rotor/wiring etc?

yeah i managed to sort that on arrival at the campsite last month. not a single back fire now

hover on a rare occasion it does suddenly die. but after it'll fire back up without fault. rather strange i must admit. have you had any experience with this happening? it only happens on a rare occasion as i said.

im running an su on a f10a engine if that helps.

not had this happen in the year or so that i've had her

cheers dude

back! That sounds like it could be a case of carb freeze, I had it a few times yesterday morning in mine! are you running the SU with the stock air box? if so run a hot air feed from above the exhaust manifold

i certainly am my good sir, i also herd someone of extending some hose from the heater matrix to wrop around the su but that just seems ott.

any idea of what diameter the intake is, jus so i can order up now?

how is everyone on here? seems like ages since ive been online!!
