hmmm, may be time to start looking for a fuel only computer for that efi manifold of yours 1200rc.... put an end to all the carby woes.

Finally i got it going, and broke something

3rd gear exited stage left this morning

i was suspicious of third as it was hard to select and making noise anyway

but this morning she gave up,
so yep, it was the gearbox, 3rd gear only so far, still driving it as a 3 speed

im very impressed at the strength of these boxes, i think it's all about the condition it's in and have no doubt a good condition one would survive a decent flogging still

though, i've ordered my clutch so now just have to get a tailshaft made so i can slot in the dellow conversion celica 5spd, that baby aint breaking!
