Wino's things

I wish I had thought to make one thread for various automotive adventures. I think the kids call it a blog.

And the 205 fouled it's plugs today... Something A/F related no doubt.... no idea where to start looking though!

is it carbed or injected?

Wino

Single point Magnetti Marelli injection

Wait it's French, reckon it's got a crappy ground.

Rev tune!

Wino

Done that :(

Of course there is no simple ECU read out either...

I took the battery out and put it on my new C-TEK, so that'll reset the ECU... maaaaaybe it's learnt bad habits due to exhaust hole? Only "change" i've made recently is replacing the swiss cheese mid-pipe with a new one.

That or a bung...

What's wrong with a simple "ground wire X and read the dash light code" goddamnit

Wino

New leads, coil, air filter and ECU temp sensor (different to the guage one) ordered.

Can't diagnose it? Throw parts at it!

These are all shity 25 year old parts I wanted to replace anyway.

Hmm I should... will put it on the next list if these parts don’t fix it

Wino

So it was leaking from the gasket around the water pump.... pulled it all down again, put it back together again...

It also has a vacuum leak due to shitty old oil pipes. I am waiting on the last one to arrive to the dealer and then @timbo will probably be fitting them when he is tasked with fixing the slowly leaking sump plug...

I don't have any pictures of it, so here's one of the Thruxton.

So I haven't actually touched a car in like 6 months. Like, at all.

I did go racing on my motorcycle though, so there's that

what's the go with posting images? it shouldn't be this hard/confusing... have imgur changed something? what is this "share" bullshit?

Racing or track day?

Wino

track day heh, racing on my bike would be a bit of an exercise in futility

was invited by triumph australia

did round up a few of the more novice riders on daytonas and street triples, but as i was the only person there on an air cooled bike yeah it was just a bit of fun more than anything serious

even though i was 20hp+ down on power, that wasn't my issue at all. it was the brakes. by lap 4 or 5 the front was totally cooked, so had to start braking before the start/finish line down the main straight just to have any hope in hell of not ending up in the back wall

@Wino

Every time I look at your helmet I wonder where the rest of your space suit from 2001 is

Wino

I need a new helmet, this ones on 5 years old and the liner is falling out.

Maybe white next time for next level space suit?

Wino

oh no

not even 1 km on it and it's already broken. pffft

at least once it's back together it'll be a 114, 107's are for chumps

Ex850R

Haha.

Philia_Bear

Why?

Wino

because L O U D NO I S E S

its actually quieter than the bonneville is, lame

(actually a good thing, i'd put baffles in the triumph if it didn't foul plugs if you look at it funny)
