Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Depends what you're planning on doing with it. I've got goodyear mt/r's on my td5 and they're pretty good at everything, but if you're looking for something a more suited to sealed roads and a bit of easy offroading a set of cooper ATR's would be better.

Any chance you've put a ding in the exhaust? Mate of mine had a similar thing, because the exhaust system is so skinny a small bend can restrict a fair bit of flow... Oh, and check that that the throttle cable hasn't stretched or done anything weird by seeing if foot on floor=full throttle at the ...

Mine had the same thing, thermostat had stuck at full open. Took it out, gave it a fiddle so it could move normally again, put it back in and it worked fine.

Don't know how i've done it, but my blind fiddling with the carby has got it purring along. Now if i could do the same with my girlfriend....

I was expecting the motor to die with the accelerator pump being exercised, was just trying to explain the symptoms a bit better. The accelerator isn't being jumped on in the mornings, just enough to move out of the garage will set it off. Just seemed weird it started on the first cold morning after ...

Yeah, it's definately working, i just think that when it's cold it's working too well and flooding the little engine. Had the air box off, pulled the accelerator cable and everything is good (the engine was already warm), get little squirt from the accerator pump and it revs fine. I pushed the ...

Brilliant, thanks for that. I figure it's something to do with the accelerator pump, not the choke. ie it idles fine, just splutters and dies when the accerator is pumped. I reckon the acclerator pump has gone a bit out of whack when the carby was recon'd and it's dumping too much fuel in when cold ...

Water flow should be top notch, just been reco'd to take care of the old 3500rpm idle trick, and a new radiator/coolant etc went in not long ago as well. Is there any adjustment on the carby that i can fiddle with to see if i can fix it?

Recently been having some probs with the sierra with the colder weather coming on. Starts and idles fine when cold, but for the first few minutes when you put your foot on the accelerator the thing just splutters and dies. It's been recently reconditioned, so i'm not sure if it's just an adjustment ...

Had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago, turned out the wax plug that moves the auto choke had siezed. Had the carby re-conditioned, runs better than ever.

Officially the wax plug that moves the auto choke has stopped working, will know if it's a water flow issue tomorrow. Couldn't go on driving it with the idle getting up around 3,500, brakes would be f$cked in a week.... Having the thing start up like an old radial engine did sound kinda cool though ...

no sand, just found the screw to adjust the idle has half it's thread missing... bugger

After a trip to stockton beach on about the hottest day of the year the other day the sierra has been has been idling almost 1000rpm higher than usual (up to 2700 at the lights :? ). The temp has been sitting around 2 needle widths higher as well. Raditator is near new, idle is not related to having ...

Was looking at 235/75 bfg muddies and they fit a 15x6, so i would assume 235/70's will fit. However my stock rims are 15x5.5....

7m of garden hose should do the trick (5m for the job, 2m for the eventual stuff ups...). Any big hardware store should have the bright orange heavy duty hose if you're worried about it.

I had 2" lift OME springs/shocks and new bushes fitted today at the local ARB dealer (north sydney) for a smidge over $1500 if that helps.
