hello there, i tested the engine today after installing it ??
serveral problems : it blew fuse number 7 ??
it turned over but was very noisy and sluggish on turn over ?
could it be starter? or if starter was faulty wouldnt it turn??
it didnt really fire ? but not sure if the other problams were stopping that ?
there was power at the alternater even with igition off ( is this normal) and it was sparking (or seemed to be shorting out for some reason)

?? .. i did put copper seal on the thread so the bolt wouldnt seize i future could this have been the trouble ?
the battery isnt too good atall, so cpould this be the reason behind the sluggish turn over ? still doesnt explain the noise does it ?
has anyone got any ideas atall please?
as honestly if i do not get the little devil going i am afraid my fiance has told me it has to go , and i would rather keep it ..
