Project My Fizzer

Your not alone Chris, think Mr Grey will have this bad boy on the road sooner rather than later.

 

That's exactly right. I follow a few threads on a car site I am a member of, and some if those threads, 3 off the top of my head are around the 1200-1500 posts range. With 90k in views. 1 is a bigger budget build, but the others are simply good reads and a lot of interest with the cars & build directions. And trust me things get lost in 1000s of posts!

 

I would like to go on record to say the Windows registry is just misunderstood, rumors are it wont be around in future Windows versions.

 

I forgot to add in my post, I didn't have a fuel pump, because I don't have one and even the tank which is being cleaned through electrolysis is off, instead I have a 1 litre can with a fuel line and breather sitting on the airbox using purely gravity feed for fuel supply. So discount the fuel pump from the equation altogether.

It's something to do with the 12 volt line, via the fuse to/from the battery causing the weirdness on my machine.
My symptoms were exactly what Grey has been enduring. The co-incidence make me feel awful to begin with, knowing what he's gone through so far.

I had it pinned at full throttle, though it was barely idling, with one hand whilst checking things with the multimeter with the other hand. This went on for a good five minutes. Then I touched the fuse wires and got quite a fright when it wound up to 16K all of a sudden.

One other thing to note on my machine is the run switch is a tiny bit sensitive, it needs to be flicked on with authority to make good contact - the EXUP valve motor sometimes doesn't complete it's initiation sequence if it's turned on gently. Something I have to investigate.

I've been through almost the same process as Grey, with carbs being the last piece I just re-fitted, so I was also thinking fuel supply initially, but this weirdness is electrical. - I would hypothesise a a contact keeping 12 volts but limiting current, or breaking down just enough under load to keep things running, but still not supplying enough current to run properly.

peace out

 

It was always a beautiful single point of failure, such an elegant design which has stolen years of my life that I will never recover.

I used to be 6'4" blonde, with a full head of hair before I started working on computers, now I'm 5'10" and threadbare - thanks Bill

 

I have updated my Avatar in support of regedt32.exe

 

could have been worse...I could have changed it to an Apple

 

IS IT A GOER YET????

 

if it is like in the video and as soon as you let the throttle go it dies then its your carb floats (flooding), i have the same problem . odly i dont think it has anything to do with it being hot or cold . any time it happens to me i just crank the engine till it burns up the excess and revs up again ( at the cost of killing my battery , ill be getting a lithium soon anyway ). just dont wanna mess with my floats ill get em done soon

i have seen this problem alot in the fizzers and can almost guarantee its your floats

 

grey, re the contact cleaner...i have many cans of kal-gard here but suggest jaycar. they have 2 , one has lube with it. 11.20$. the honda i had in tamworth gave me the shites till i hit every connection with the cleaner and when got there murdo helped me out as front brake switch was not working. bike electrics urinate me off.
