It's alive again

[gsx600]

Well my temp sender arrived yesterday, so fitted the beast and started runing again.

Still a bit rough, but eventually found loose hose connections and perished rubber connecting the extra air valve. Replace with other pipe and now idles again.

Whilst off had a look at the air valve to see if the electricity connected actually did anything which it does not seem to, so moved it manually and it all springs back to a nearly closed position, so ok when wrn, but probably giving me some of my cold start roughness

Took it for a nice drive around town and loads of sports cars out in Reading, Ferrari's, Lotus Esprit, and even another TVR - Chimp. Seems to like the cold air a lot better this time of year

Hi Paul,

Glad you got it sorted. have you got the EAV bolted down now.

Even when cold the EAV only has a small opening.

have you not recieved the ones I posted yet.

[gsx600]

No still not got it bolted down and not received yours yet either.

Strangly though I got a parcel delivered on Sunday by Royal Mail for the Cav, must go on strike and then do overtime on the sunday to make up

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

I think they are delivering current mail, quicker then the back log stuff.

May be worth putting one bilt in, but the one buy the conector is a pain.

I'be put capped bolts in at they are easier to get to.

Can you recal what thread they are ? Looked like 8mm, but was too busy to rumage through shed for some, although might have found my long electric socket screws if I'd looked

[rev-erend]

Don't use 8mm on the block ..

Pretty sure it was UNC .. cant remember the size as I don't that the receipt to hand but it's similar to an M8.

An exhaust header bolt is the correct size !

[gsx600]

Don't want to remove the exhaust bolts to fit the EAV, was going to use one long hose to bypass totally to see if it had any issues

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

I did not think they was a big as the exhaust headers.
I will check tonight on the size.
