tapping noise in engine

[Diesel Turbo]

I've never tapped a tea soon on a rocket cover, so don't know what it sounds like.

Strange noises at tickover can sometimes be down to leaky or cracked exhaust manifolds.

haha

Sig lines question/advice, schrodingers-cat wtf is meant by yours.

Diesel you might want to change yours.

[Diesel Turbo]

ok

I put the injector cleaner in and BINGO, I went for a 50 mile run out, 100 round trip and its as sweet as a nut!
It still fires up instant when cold but takes 3 seconds when hot? why does it not fire up the same hot as when cold? It is not sucking air anywhere and fully serviced?

[Diesel Turbo]

Not practical on a 2.4.

I did turn it over on the 3rd time to make sure it fired up to be honest but only for a second

[Diesel Turbo]

You may have struck on something there. Has he done a kid count, maybe one hid in there and is trying to get out?

Hmm given me an idea next time they drive me mad!,, watch out for the Anglia news at 10 lol

Pain Is Weakness is a bad track by a band called Stampin Ground or its a phrase used by the yanks to encourage people to join the marines or its what i`ve got wrote on the front of a tee shirt somewhere, take ya pick

[Albannach]

Sh1t and i try sooooo hard to be literate

[Diesel Turbo]

Hmm

I have read about this on some but would this only effect it when hot? I thought that if that was effecting it it would be same on cold too? as it uses fuel it creates a vacuum I guess your thoughts are, I will try it, then if it works I will drill a small hole, thanks

It's possibly not that it's hot as such, but that in the act of getting hot, it has been drawing fuel. I'm not saying it's going to be that, but it's a free and easy thing to test.

Im going to try it as you said easy and cost nothing, could be right! thanks

:-(

No that cap off did not work :-(
I do know that the longer that it is left when hot the harder it is to start, if I turn it off and then back on within a couple of minutes it is fine but if I leave it 30 mins it has to turn over and over? I guess the time gets longer until its equilibrium and then gets shorter again as engine cools until instant start when cold....any ideas? thanks in advance
