Cheers, another day of spannering tomorrow then. I'm quite enjoying this job. Or is that just the pain killers washed down with JD talking 

It's quite satisfying, especially when you get it running on the cheap(er) stuff

Gas ECU remounted. Wires now long enough. All water pipes done. Cam cover gaskets done. Inlet tree back in place with gas injectors fitted. Had to stop now. Broke Plenum dual ram solenoid. So will collect replacement tomorrow. To finish. Replace plenum, run wires for switch. Run wires to ECU box and then it's bung in some gas and pray it's OK.

Nice one

I am going to be free on tuesday morning if you fancy bringing it up to me*.  I am no where near as experienced as LD, KW and CG on lpg but I know the basics and can certainly give it the once over and help with any niggles

* tuesday PM is out though, absolutely set in stone online seminar where I will be prospecting for a new job and networking with potential future employers.

I'm at work till Friday now. I'll probably leave the actual commissioning till next weekend so I can do it in the light. Thanks very much for the offer of help though.  Have to remember I've only got 2.0 mm jets and it will probably take a lot of setting up. Which I'm not looking forward to

Yeah fettling can be a bitch, but just following methodically and with guidance from glassback and yoda you'll get it sorted

Nothing to report tonight other than collecting solenoid from Rob (cheers Fella) Now I've got to pull my finger out as I've sold my other car tonight. This means I may have to take the camper van to work and it doesn't have a heater. BUUMSSS

Well I've been laid up rough for the last week. Went out today but not really in the right frame of mind. I've got the wiring to the ECU to finish and the switch/gauge to wire and that's it finished. Problem is I can't see me getting time now till next weekend. Still couple more hours and it be finished

Stick at it, be well worth it in the long run

I think you've made great progress so far 

[doz]

All mechanicals are now complete. It's taken me a bit longer than I'd like but I'm still suffering at the mo. So now I've got to bite the bullet and bung some gas in it and then it's a check for leaks followed by some calibration. Had the software running. Checked the injectors are listed as correct and sorted out the fuel gauge so it now show's empty when it's empty and not full when it's empty

Sweet!

All coming along good

Good news doz
The Buzz you'll get when she fires up on gas for the first time will make you feel tons better too

And the deflation when it stalls

It needs a bit of tweaking to get nozzle sizes, pressure etc right, to get a base calibration on. Fortunately, the Stag/KME/AC Injector setup is reasonably well known here

The automatic calibration (not the base one) dos work, but frequently switches to petrol to build some of the map.

Well. I've had a disaster. Had a leak from the feed line from the tank. Wasn't to bad so I was going to nip it up as they say. I removed the solenoid from the valve and noticed it was also leaking from around the base of the shaft were the solenoid slides over. I went to see if it was loose and the wee leak became a bloody major one. I moved the car very quickly so it wasn't around anything disconnected the battery and just left it to vent off. I'd put 10 litres in for the initial test. I just walked away and waited for an enormous bang. Luckily it never came. I'm not saying the boot got to cold when it went but I had a cappachino stood in the boot which it turned to ice cream!!!!! So now I have a car which stinks of Meccaptin. Tinley are sending me a new valve. Looks like the O ring was nicked during assembly. Bloody Fek.
