Hi all.
About a year ago, I bought an P1800E. The cosmetics of the vehicle where behond beleif. Absolutly beautiful in every way. The Drive train was different. It did run but like a bucket of crap.
Anyway to cut to the chase. I have totally rebuilt the whole thing. I mean everything, all the brakes, engine, transmission and dif.
Only problem is (think I have mucked something up). She starts fine but revs really high (Have checked for vacuum leaks - cannot find) Although when you block the hose going to the engine (Its called a starter valve I think) it does reduce. Changed that part - no difference.
Also and I feel this is the true problem all the electricals seem a bit mucked up. Everthing worked before indicators, tacho etc. Now nothing essentially works except headlights and brakes.
Has anybody done 1 of these rebuilds and can think of something that must be really obvious, and staring me right in the eye that I have clearly missed ?
Nearly forgot...to mention. With the tacho not working - Also had distributor modified to breakerless points. But I did not think that would effect. after all the tacho should just connect to the negative of the coil...right ?
By the way I am an eletronics engineer. Have studied the circuit diagram pretty well. It all "looks" pretty right.
Any idea's of where to look would be appreaciated.
Thanks - Mike.
