Got the rebuild kit for the t25 carb - 2e3 19mm. Can't find any info on how to refurb it anywhere. Just seperated top half from bottom half of body. No idea how to do anything else lol.

Cam anyone advise where to look for a guide that is understandable?

just had a bit of a brainwave or an idea today, i did mess with the gear linkage / coupler to get the gears working, that might have slipped meaning i am trying to pull away in third maybe? worth a look.

Do you have compression now? Its at 6 bar on cyl 1. So not really. The rest are fine. I have been told it could be a burnt valve. Theres no water seepage. I just have no time to take it off to have a look. I have got it up for sale, but i dont really know what else to do. I have tried a local garag...

Good stuff mate. Thanks for all your help.

Although it still wont start now. But one step closer.

Turns out the rods werent seated correctly so now are all located with the aid of screwdriver. Just got to get it to start, going to change out plugs again or clean them and see if that is also the problem. Oh and air out the heads by removing the plugs as all the cranking could have flooded it i gu...

Well this is going splendidly. I do apologise for my wrong doing. If you read the thread you will understand why I may have crossed wires about the pushrods. you may be some expert but don't turn your nose up at the people who aren't as clever as you, so i made a mistake, big deal. I was actually re...

just re-read the ratwell guide. they must be solids. Both the members who sold them to me on here said they were out of a 1.9 wbx though. what a waste of time that has been. "Solid: Aluminum with steel tips (271mm long) - Hydraulic: 1-piece steel (262mm long)" might have to be getting som...

need to see exactly what you have with dims or we are wasting our time these were taken tonight of real parts from a DG http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o504/paul_barr/T3_DG_LPG_Engine/P1030049_zpscj1jsudl.jpg http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o504/paul_barr/T3_DG_LPG_Engine/P1030056_zpsjrnn6c...

Don't turn the key yet You have telescopic tubes so pull one and get a pic of the pushrod and tappet I will post a pic later of mine from my spare engine follower http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/pd4AAOSweW5U5M8U/$_12.JPG pushrod looks like this (to save time) i took photo from ratwell http...

@kevtherev the lifters are all 8 out of a wbx so it cant be them. if the pushrods are correct, then it cant be them. the rockers havent been altered, and i didnt take the valve springs off so its not them. Whats left??! If i turned it by the key could it damage it? Even if i tested it by hand first?

doesnt he like being summoned? i love it.

what do i do then? shall i just adjust it from biting point to 1.5 turns and see if it starts? im worried i will break it (not that broken things can be broken) @kevtherev

@kevtherev @itchyfeet whats your views?

Hopefully someone will be along in a minute. If they are correct, then i have no idea what is going on.

So is 271mm correct or incorrect for a hydraulic lifter?
