Ladies,
Last couple of times out......my trusty merc has had a severe case of PMT....and its started to feck me off!!! This week I got really fecked off when I headed out of the 8 knot restriction for some cockbiscuit to go meanderring passwed be in some shite genmar tub giving-it large coz he done me with his 3.0L alpha......proceeding to floor it....I only just (with a very red face) managed to pass him.
So after stamping my feet...I decided sommink was deffo wrong.....Got back to shore and had a peek........Of course i tried just kicking it hard....but my tried&tested technique failed on this occaision........And then bingo....turns out oone of the leads from mainbox to ign coils had been working its way loose for quite a while...........It hasnt quite cured my poor idle problem....but she again runs like a dream.........
...to complete my fun....said cockbiscuit taps me on the shoulder and (gritting his teeth somewhat) says "goes well dont she?"....to which i reply "yeh, even better on 6 cylinders".....but being a nobber he had to come back for more....this time....i trimmed all but a postage stamp out and hosed him down......much fun indeed.
Now this was supposed to be Tech-Q, but i got carried away on some tangent!!!!!
Q - Those 3.4L cosworth mercs........are the powerheads a totally cosworth design?......just theres one for sale on ebay with a "normal" merc cowl....and its always just seemed such an odd combo to me..........big yank firm + wickle blighty mob!!!
I'm sure i've asked this before....but where they a flop?
