Big Sky Euro

started cranking it this weekend. IP seems strong, no leaks. I think the injectors are probably gummed up. does anyone know about or have an injector tester?? and or the nifty little dial indicator for timing the pump?? and is priming the fuel lines neccessary or will the pump just pull all the air out and remain unaffected??

got injectors out. took them apart and cleaned them with a solvent. but i found the culprit I think


clean injection port


dirty dirty injection port.

any tips on how to clean it out with out taking apart the engine??

I bet if you pull the washer thing out and clean it, it will be pretty clean.

its stuck in there :-/ gonna let senior wd do some work overnight

a little cleaning and its alive!!!!!! i did some math and i have to drive it 2500 miles instead of my xterra for it to pay for itself. so stoked

does anyone know if the front hub assembly from an 86 will fit on the 81??

negative, unless its a cabby. scirocco will though.

so this thing really needs a water pump cuz it leaks really badly. but when i search for a new one a couple of different sizes come up. how do i find out what size hub i need, 40 or 30mm? and the hub height?

ok i got everything working properly and finally had time to investigate the brake booster problem.. turns out the diaphragm in the vacuum pump is shot. does anyone have one laying around that didn't get used or something?
