I'm with you know, thanks

So far the relays mentioned all check out ok, and resistance of pick up is good. although obviously this is all with out heat or load.

Checking air gap next.

Help is much appreciated, thanyou

You mention closing up the plug gaps helped, have you tried new plugs
Maybe we should pluging my Diagnostic on

[jbeez_yuall]

Not yet, and they are fairly old but not excessive mileage, dcpr9e's, which from what I understand, will be harder to spark wih a struggling system than iridiums.

What I do not want to do is mask the fault from myself, only to have it show up when I get off the ferry!!

Diagnostic is a thing dreams are made of, that could prove very usefull.

I currently have her in bits, I intend to check the valve clearances I adjusted last year on saturday, then re-fit belts and pulleys that are off for new bearings as they are very old.

My money is on a blocked fuel filter at the moment, as I have not changed this for far too long. This will get done sat also and everything in tank checked out, after this I will fire her up and see where we're at.

Being able to read fault codes would be very usefull. Could you let me know when you might be available for this please

Just found a pretty well blocked fuel filter, split hose between pump and filter and rather dirty fuel pick up screen.

Fingers crossed

All back together and going well, fuel filter seems to have done it.

Thanks all for your help
