RA28midge Regular Location: Adelaide and Queenstown T... Registered: September 2002	18RG installed but still ????? Tue, 01 July 2003 12:05 I had my "18RG" delivered on friday afternoon (8 months later), it turns out it is an 18RGEU, with "Solex Mikuni Kyogo" carbs retro fitted to it for some unknown reason. I installed the engine on saturday and am now trying to get everything sorted. 1. The engine is on a bit of a slant leaning back towards the gearbox, only slight, but noticeable, is this normal?? 2. The gear stick seems to hit the centre console when going into 1st, 3rd and 5th, any suggestions why? 3. What type of Carbies are these? the good, the bad, the throw away? 4. Where does the rocker cover breather hose go to? there is a rather large pipe coming out of the front of the intake manifold above the front carbie, is this where it leads? 5. the oil sensor plug (bottom, front driverside of block) won't come undone, anyone else had this problem, how did you get it out, other than lots of WD40? 6. Because it is an GEU engine there was no mechanical fuel pump for the carbies, I have mounted an electric pump against the boot tyre well, above the diff, has anyone else mounted theirs in this spot and have they had any problems with this spot? 7. Does the little hose fitting at the back of the back carbie go to the carbon filter? 8. Does the brake booster vacuum come from the back hose in the centre of intake manifold (a prick to get to)? 9. What bHP do you reckon, 2 1/4 exhaust, rampods on the carbs, nothing else special, 130HP?? That is about it. I am going to try to start it up tomorrow, once I get the carbie linkages working, even without the exhaust connected past the exhaust manifold. [Report message to a moderator]
