The 'E' Type Forum

ok, thanks, with all the emissions equipment off, how can I identify the right inlets and carbs, and what needles do you run.

When Series 3 are converted from USA spec to UK spec, and all the emission equipment is removed , such as air pump....should the needles in the carbs also be changed...and if so ...what to?

Christopher , I see the advertisement for the up-graded alternator with built in voltage controller....at cambridge motorsport for example. If thats the type you mean, mine is certainly not that one. I found a series of articles by Coolcat Express Corp, they refer to the Lucas model, but the princip...

Actually looking at the manual, I should fit the A7/1A alternator and the 2R/1 control box. That would at least start from a matched pair.

By the way. i'm very appreciative of your input (pun fully intended) on this. Yes, I think the implication of your last message is correct. We know we're charging well. Something in the control process is amiss. So having done the basics, we have a charge, we've changed the controller, we've checked...

OK long run duly carried out. No reduction in voltage. Throughout showing about 15.5 volts. After the long run, I couldn't find any hot wiring or battery casing. So picking up on your comments, I had the battery tested. It shows healthy cranking power and 85% efficiency, and good condition. The disc...

Really?
The in car voltmeter reads exactly the same. That's why i put the second digital multimeter on at the same time.

It has indeed been chronically undercharged , so your point seems very valid.

I fear frying the ignition and other electrics if I run it.

Thoughts?

Started with poor charging. Found poor connections on regulator. Changed regulator and connectors. Problem now is that when revs go to approx 2000rpm, voltage rises to well over 15 volts, and with a few more revs it can reach 16 volts. I have turned the voltage screw on the voltage regulator down to...

Could I have directions to the Cheshire member to show me acces points for waxing please?
