Hello everyone.
After a long and slow restoration project I have been doing some work on the (2.1/4 diesel) engine , Head job really..
It never was an easy starter but now it is very difficult to start and when it does finally start it pollutes the the neighbourhood with clouds of bluish white smoke. After a minute or so it starts to clear but it is misfiring and clattering. I think the injectors need a service but the only real change is the gloplugs which I I have changed to the parallel type. They are working when I remove one and tested it but not very convincingly It did glow but not as much as I would have expected, How should these plugs be powered. I found a rather confusing Britpart diagram which seemed to suggest that they should be connected to the ballast resistor in the normal way. Is this correct? Comments would be much appreciated.
