Hello from Vancouver, BC!

Post by myme22 »

Hi, everyone!
Just bought a 400 1994 Delica, and tinkering away on a WVO conversion with a kit bought from PlantDrive.ca.
Ed Beggs has been extremely personable and professional, and forthcoming with initial explanations, as well as SUPER fast with delivery: received the kit the day after I paid!!
kit is fairly straight forward, but now kind of a bit stumped with trying to find all the hoses... and an ideal placement under the hood for the valves and filter.
I saw a good post about it by "northriver".
Anyways, anyone with a bit of feedback, feel free to chime in!
Diagrams would earn my eternal gratitude!! :-D

On another note, found a suspicious black, hard caked-on buildup around the injector closest to the front of the engine.
Wondering if anyone might have had a similar problem and what it might be?

Also found the glowplugs are fairly rusted in the head. to the point that I couldn't loosen them up, even with WD40, got worried about breaking one, and backed off.
Is that a big problem and are there any tricks for getting plugs out without breaking them off?

Cheers,

Welcome to Delica Canada, Myme :M

If you have the time, you ought to do a thread on your Space Gear in the "Member Rides" forum. Take a few pictures of what you are doing to her. Do you have a name for her? What else are you planning?
