316 Advice non runner

[hazd31]

Just won a 316 on ebay

Apparently it will start but the revs then die and it stops. And it could need a repair to the fuel pump is the sellers diagnosis.

Sounds like fuel pump relay to me? any other ideas?

Just jump the FP relay connectors then with some wire, to see if that makes the pump run

the wiki has the guide for the pins

If it's a 316, then it'll have a mechanical pump. Sounds like the carb is at the end of its life.

Hi Hazd 31!

Congrats on the winning bid!

Any news? Have you sorted it out yet?

[hazd31]

Yep Jump off the van, got the enging warm and gave it a good blast down the road

Its the auto choke that's at fault

[CarbTuner]

I guess mine needs a good blast down the road as well.


Other than that, is it in good nick?

I haven't had to opportunity to fully assess the extent of the work mine needs, but I did receive some welding gear for Christmas that will definitely be put to good use. hehe

yeh this ones really tidy, seems a shame to pull the engine out but m50 will be so much better
