is the cooling system good? does it over heat? is the aux pump and fan running after u switch off?

cud be if it is running too hot, when turned off the fuel is possibly evapourating in the fuel rail...this is what the anti perc pump is for...to reduce temps after turning off to avoid this.

thanks for response jhonnyboy &stan

the anti-perc system seems to be working ok, buzzing and water circ noises after ignition turned off, ive just flushed cooling system, added 50-50 water & antifreeze but not checked the result yet

re:stan

i havent checked dizzy yet, it looks ok no crack/arcing, will check

cheers

the fuel will not boil in the fuel lines, they are under to much pressure.

Does the tacho needle move when you crank it over and doesn't fire?
