so the old girl decided to throw a random one at me today. The bar Gauge has been running at full from when i finished putting her back together from the first turn on the key in the ignition but car works fine figured it must just be a random fault. But anyway today the bar gauge stated flicking and then when i put the clutch pedal in goes back to full again a video attached!!! Anyone got any ideas??????

Worn crank/big end bearings.... when you put your foot on the clutch you are putting some thrust on the crank and it might be helping to re-pressurise the bearings.

Has the engine been run without oil before?

[EwenHayton]

No never with out oil. I changed all the big end bearings when i did the piston rings???
Wouldnt even be 100ks on the bearings!

[EwenHayton]

All good now had the variable resistance sender wired up wrong!!!! What a twat!!!! Cheers anyways

The fact that pushing the clutch pedal down was changing the guage readings may suggest cleaning and tightening the engine earthing points Ewen, the clutch cable was changing the earthing resistance values...

[EwenHayton]

From What i could see i had the 2 correct wires laying on the clutch linkage and applying the clutch was earthing it mayb! Not sure tho! I ordered then caps and wires that i was missing from the spot lights should be here late next week!
