Ok, I opened up the exhaust valves to the correct clearances, bump started it down a hill, and it goes!!!!!!!
The valves were all set, but I dunno, they must have closed up.
It's popping a bit on the overun, I dont think the exhaust is very well sealed. One of the exhaust studs snapped when refitting the exhaust. Another job to be done!
I have now fitted new relays, neutral light switch, disconnected the fuel pump and all the daft cut outs on a 3AJ, new rectifier, new plug, replaced all the joints in the ignition wiring.
I now have a good spark, a supply of petrol, (niether were great) so I take it the exhaust valve was open slightly, and drawing in air, causing the carb shooting backfires.
Any advice as to how to remove an exhaust stud without removing the head?
I might just rebuild the relationship with my Tenere after all!
Pete
