Re: My '72 911T
I had only driven it around the yard at home, but when I drove it up to our space at the top of Prescott paddock, it was making a horrible noise. We changed the oil back to EP90 in case it was caused by trying GL5 75/90 oil, but no.
Hopefully it is just backlash adjustment in the CWP
Rather more work to do in the next week than I needed

Re: My '72 911T
Hope it’s not the oil… I’ve got some 80/90 GL4 lined up as EP90 is a bit obscure these days!

Re: My '72 911T
Well the oil change didn’t make a difference, so you ought to be OK.
A lot of work, and lots of help here from Yellow491
but I’ll have to sit this one out.

Re: My '72 911T
Well. This is nice to hear:
https://youtu.be/-N8OZj29LiQ
There’s something odd going on as it only sparks when the starter isn’t running, just managed to catch this on the throttle as I turned it off and it burst into life. Not going to miss that opportunity!
Some fault finding to do, but it’s a big step forward.

Re: My '72 911T
Quick lunch break…

Success!

Not the new batteries (although they do spin the engine faster than the pistons…) but some idiot having connected a red wire clearly labelled 8B to fuse 6B…
And guess what fuse 8 supplies, yes it’s the feed to the CDi box during cranking.
Which is the problem John pointed me towards yesterday in a message…
Thanks to DDK this simple mechanical engineer has fixed an electrical problem of his own making
