If its not firing and the plugs are not wet, you have to wonder if fuels getting in.

I hate easy start but if that makes it fire then fuel supply is the issue.

Chech the fuel line from the tunnel to the throttle bodies ( not under the bodies) mine was really bad when turned over, both Dave and Troy said it was common.

Hi Ben,

2 things spring to mind (both unlikely)

If you've not played with anything since it last ran

1. Timing belt. (broken or jumped)

2. Fuel contamination (I had issues with my k series running very badly, since it was after an upgrade though DVA/Northampton Motorsport had made an error, turned out to be Tesco's fuel. Maybe fuel is the issue here, also during upgrade found the fuel line from the bulk head to the throttle body(s) had perished (on the underside, out of view) could be sucking air in. If its the fuel line Earls at Silverstone will make one up using the old unions.

I'm sure nifty did some?

There was a bulk buy

He's been great seems he loves J&B 😬 😬

Thanks for all the help getting back to my Hotel, I'd be sober without you.

It's not nice to put this sort of thing on here ( or blumimg texting it yesterday ) when you know some of us are hard at work in foreign places, with no 7 and only fizzy pop beer

Hope you had a good day....

Bar stewards

Both James Whitting and David Andrews advised me to leave out the bottom fasteners.

Been some miles now and no issues.

Pictures please

Oh and first dibs also

No nothing of a red one but weather permitting there will be a Black one in Farmers Way tomorrow.

I'll be visit my Father before going on to the Penns meet.

Where do you get your fuel?

I've been having a similar issue until on a mates advise ran the tank right down and then filled up at a Different garage (I normally use a certain Supermarket chain as you can pay at the pump and SWMBO has a points card) problem solved.

Carl at 7 speed can source these...

Sure he could do a bulk buy

John,

I have 4 spare, brand new 195/45x15 happy to sell or lend

David,

Sounds good to me, I just want to build an engine as a hobby.

Im looking for a 1.8 k series engine to re-build.

Needs to be a good block and head.

Thinking of some ZZR's just for track days.

I'm currently on CR500's 195/45R15 on an SV Roadsport.

Will 205/50R15's fit within my cycle wings?

Or do I need some 13" wheels and if so what size ZZR's?

With a news sump pad, new filter and new Apollo James Whithing measured 8 litres.

The Apoolo has its own drain and Since Caterham say the standard k series holds 5.5 litres I guess the Apollo and pipes holds 2.5 litres.

But I do know that james said the oil capacityfor a change without changing the sump pad was lower, I think he said 7 litres.

Hi Violet,

Talk to Carl at 7 speed he can get these for you

I have 4 brand new in my garage (Northampton) you can willingly take them and replace them later or buy them if you prefer.

Mine should be ok for this year.

had mine about 1 month, torque is improved, sound is different but good in a strange way.

But add in a DVA upgrade and it really sings 😬

Took my standard hoses here and they made up braided hoses to suit my DVA up grade while I waited.
