Perfect excuses to buy a stainless system if available. For tired of buying cheap mild steel ones for the landys that didn't last much longer than a couple of years. Or side exit, go gangster 😎
Sounds like you pumped raw fuel into the exhaust system by trying to start the car. After you've fixed the fault and got spark back the Unburned fuel that was residing in the system ignited and caused an explosion 💥 so not so much a backfire in reality.
Sounds plausible. What ever happened, it was one almighty bang
I really enjoyed this production, thank you
Sounds expensive ? can you get exhausts for this ?
They are available The middle section, which I need, is about £90
It does sound nice like that
It really loud
Hi Dave, lovely car! Would you be happy for me to use a few seconds of this video or a still image please showing the outside of the car, for a slide show I'm making which is part of a small theatre show/exhibition? Many thanks in advance.
I have no issues with that, but I would insist that you showed it came from my UA-cam channel . If you are local to London you could always come and take your own pictures
@@Daves_classics Thanks Dave that is much appreciated and yes I would show that credit to your channel. I'm not local to London but cheers for the offer to see it.
I recently went through some old family photographs from the days of yore, you know 1960 ish. There is one of me at 9 months old, sitting on the bonnet of one of these cars outside a caravan, being supported by my mother. I'm pretty sure we wern't gypsies, so we must have been on holiday. The only thing I can't quite work out is that the rear side windows are perfectly rectangular ie there is no curve/arc at the far rear side. I can't see the rear window to see if that is the same. Just wondered if anyone could shine any light on that. Did they made a 103B or something? I do have a distant memory of my dad having to start one car he had with the starting handle ocassionally, I remember the swearing, more than the car. We also had a bedford van and a landrover mk2, not sure if either of those had a starting handle.
My 1st car.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Do you have any pictures of the car?
Was this an easy build?
It was pretty straightforward. I'm considering making a short video on how I achieved this.
@@Daves_classics Thanks I got a Bantam at the weekend no engine. Want to do something different either electric, diesel or this maybe.
@@Daves_classics Did you have to bias the bike engine a bit to the right to get the drive sprocket to line up with the back sprocket? Also I think the front engine mount with VIN would have to be removed and moved to a new frame location? I now have a LexMoto Venom 125 I am going to try and fit.
It would be useful to know how straightforward or not it was to put the Honda engine into the Bantam frame...
RDs, LCs,X7 and a fizzy
Don't forget about the Fantic
The Kawasaki at the end sounded sweet
Totally agree 👍
lots of really good bikes, reminds me of my old boyfriends bikes
I'm glad 😊 you liked it
Took you long enough lol only joking, in the end it was a easy fix
Could have been worse 😫
Top fix
Thank you 😊
My dads ford pop used to breakdown sometimes on hills and l thik it was fuel evaporation ,he put a metal plate by the manifold all those years ago
My dad had a black pop in 1966 ,we wen5 to Anglesy and Bournemouth in it in 1967 ,m6 dad fitted w radio and picked up Piraye radio ,l remember hewring the Beatles "All yoi meed is love ' over and over ,and Pink floyde ' See Enily play ' the smell of petrol ,m6 mums ciggerette smoke and flower children .Time machine ,love those cars ❤
My Dad had a Ford Popular. He was cranking it one day, and ut kicked back and broke his arm! He sold it and never drove again!
Thank you, great memories.
Condenser on the distributor breaks down when hot common fault on the families first car back in 1954 Ford 8 model Y drove it for years back and forth to RAF camp Tangmere 120 miles each way never let me down
How well I remember my Dads early Fords (E93A, E103E and 100E). All had vacuum tank powered windscreen wipers - hardly worked at all when the cars were struggling to climb hills, but went batshit crazy going down the other side!!!!
Terrible filming
Thank you for your comment
says the man that has produced one iffy video.
Loving the shop, I could spend hours in there.
Totally agree 👍
Bet your glad its fixed, its certainly been a journey
Thank you 😊
You've the patience of a saint my friend, glad to see she's running properly now. Good job it's quite flat where you live with the amount of pushing you've had to do!
Cheers, who needs a gym? Just buy your self a old Ford.
Did you sell your baby
?
@@Daves_classics that old green car . I thought I saw it on auction .
Bailey looked like he enjoyed his dive
Thank you 😊
Is it really fixed ? I do hope so.
When this video was made, I would have yes. Today, it did it again. So no, it's not fixed.
This looks like an E93A. I think the 103E was the later Anglia with th3 cut back rear window.
My Dads first car was an E93A Ford Popular. The brakes failed and we hit a dustcart which then towed us down the road for a couple of miles because we could not disconnect ourselves.
I'll have to do something similar with my 38 Perfect.
Just watched your video
Could be a sticking valve or sticking piston rings, i would not be too concerned about 10psi. With a 70 year car breakdowns are almost to be expected, all part of the fun. maybe consider electronic ignition, HIDE it out of sight! Good too see these old classics out and about instead of everyone driving 🥱 EVs 🥱
Thank you 😊
I am looking for a Hooter.Please.
Can't help you with this, thank you
When you showed a new condenser that you'd just fitted, we coud see the wire had bare copper showing, going into the crimp connector. It looked like it was very close to shorting to the bodywork. If it did, the sparks would stop immediately.
Thank you, I have now rectified this.
Check the valve clearances especially the exhaust valves they can close when the engine gets hot!
There's no easy way to adjust the valve clearances on these engines. The head, manifold and tappet cover have to be removed. The clearances can then be checked, but if adjustment is needed, the valve has to be removed using special tools, and a small amount has to be ground from the tip of the valve to get the clearance needed.
Well done! I wanted to find the sump drain nut in the dark oily depths. Your video showed where it is. Thank you!
I'm glad it was of some help
Hi, at times your car sounds like it is running on three cylinders.
do you get any codes? just saying!!!
😀
😂
The compression is done with all the plugs removed and the throttle fully open.
oh man , talk about trial and error you've been through the mill with this car , well done for sticking with it to finding its problems , i had a petrol tractor once that had its fuel pipe too close to the exhaust it had same problem cutting out after five mins running, also could be ignition key barrel shorting out too had that before today , but hopefully you've fixed it now 👍
Thank you 😊
I had the same problem with a vintage Austin 7 with a vacuum wiper ' motor ' pipe that had cracked . Be very aware that many aftermarket condensers are of Chinese origin and basically ' c--p ' and destined to fail .I can recommend ones supplied by ' The Distributor Doctor ' who makes them to traditional quality standards that will last and worth the small extra cost.
Thanks
Phew im glad, I thought you had that thing,addiction to breaking down,or AA syndrome 😊
Brilliant great news!
I certainly hope the car's gremlins are behind you now and you can enjoy driving it once more, which is what classic motoring is all about. Best of luck.
I hope so too
Don't worry about the compressions. The rule is that the lowest should be within 10% of the highest. It is - just. But that's good enough.
Hope its fixed?. I think a separate fuel supply like a petrol can bypass the main tank could be particles in that fuel line or broken pick up pipe in the tank. Also read the voltage by putting volt meter on battery when driving too. That would give charge voltage also have you done a battery test with a resistance load
Happy motoring🙂
I hope so
Had one, air filter left off.
My dad had one in the early 60,s, same colour, that used to break down as well 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Improve your video.
I will try my best
I see your fuel pipeline is copper and wrapped in foil , why would that be as the fuel could be evaporating in the heat, remove for a steel replacement might help, also start at the fuel source IE drain and clean the tank, then worry about the carb, also change the coil as they are cheap,
