Re: L592 EVN formerly J2 CXM

Re: L592 EVN formerly J2 CXM
Having just read my own message, I should have written the screw is turned in too far, increasing the fuel volume off boost.
Just turn it out a very small amount and reset the idle speed.
A reasonable test is to rev the engine from idle in neutral. If it smokes in quantity, the fuel volume is too great.

Re: L592 EVN formerly J2 CXM
It looks like the Xm might be about 25mm too high at the front, can you run the engine and take another picture.
As a general guide, teh chrome rubbing strip inserts should just intersect with the top of the wheel rim, the actual measurements are given in the Haynes manual...140mm from subframe to floor, iirc.

She’d been parked around 2 hours when I took that photo
The rear had sank which raises the front end
I’ll grab a photo tomorrow of normal running height

Re: L592 EVN formerly J2 CXM
due to lots of car thefts locally i was going to reconnect the original texton alarm
but then i decided against it due to it never working that well for me
so i've just ordered this off eBay, £40 posted
it looks alright, what i read online about it also said it was alright

A job well done and worth doing. Dirty ATF is the killer of auto gearboxes, as it contains friction material dust from the clutch packs.
Don't forget the differential is a seperate unit on the 4HP-18. Fill that with Ep80/90.
