The propshaft turns a little but not fully and car wont go into gear also can take foot fully off pedal car wont stall only thing that happens is engine revs go down a little
-
Took this picture im trying to work out if this is the hole where the pin is located if yes then it is missing as screw driver goes all the way in so how would i sort this Thanks for looking regards Paul
-
When i engage a gear the drive shaft moves only slighty but the car did go into gear and did move fine but then stopped again and wouldnt engage gears so it maybe the clutch slipping or still air in system but think the driveshaft is fine although i did notice the bolts were a bit loose ?
-
Also when i open up bled nipple and push down on pedal it does force fluid through tube as I have used clear tubing
-
I can select gears while engine is running the drive shaft will have slight movement and the car appears to move if only slightly but then nothing and it wont stall outeven with foot fully off clutch pedal bled nipple is on top of cylinder
-
Well managed to get to work on the car took off the plastic housing so I could get to the bled screw so got a length of tubing put the end into a bottle of dot4 and bled the system well at least I thought i did anyway car did after a bit of pumping the pedal go into gear then wouldn't rengaged the gears the drive shaft moves a little but clutch pedal still can go all the way up and car doesnt stall out ?so any other reason that it wont engage gears is it possible that it still has trapped air.Thanks for looking regards Paul

Pivot pin where is that located? Regards Paul
-
The slave cylinder is that the one top of the engine bay next to brake cylinder if yes that works fine no problems with the linkage or leaking regards Paul

Hi hope this is the right place for this .I havebeen sorted out my 68 Herald so finally got the engine running and ticking over on idle.So went to take it for a test drive went to reverse out the drive stopped to clip down bonnet and car wouldnt engage any gear taking the clutch pedal up and even when foot is fully off car still running?So did a bit of checking seems it might need bled question i have is where is the valve for this it seems according to the haynes manual its right underneath the engine .Which would mean having somehow to lift the car up enough to get not only under it but also have enough room to bled it .So any help would be really appreciated. Thsnks for looking regards Paul

Just did a wet test with air filter off throttle up readings were cylinder one 122 cylinder two 123 cylinder three 122 cylinder four 124 which leads me to believe that the seats of valves may need re seating.?
-
Yes all plugs out throttle open you mean gas pedal pushed down ?
-
Thanks for reply not sure will need to try and find what it should be but i would have thought in the 130 140 range

Update decided to get a engine compression test kit did the test results were cylinder one =115
Cylinder two =116 cylinder three =115 cylinder four =115 all dry tested .so question is that good or bad ?

Pete you said that if i connect a small bulb to to the neg coil and earth i take it i can use any 12 volt car bulb and connect split wire to the neg and pos of the bulb sort of make shift strobe light then when bulb lights do i look at where the little Mark is on the front of the engine to try and get the marks to line up by rotating the dizzy to get the timing correct after i get that take it would then need to recheck the carburetor is set correctly as well ?
-

Update took car out yesterday for a test run havent sorted out the small blow in back box but just wanted to make sure car was running ok.Now i have changed over the distributor for a powerspark got the timming sorted have new silicone leads new battery refurb the carb with new seals and yet i still struggle to get the car past 20mph .cant understand what can be wrong when i lift the piston on carb the car revs slighty higher then settles back down so according to the experts that is correct air fuel mixture .so any ideas why car still has no power thanks for looking
