Hows it going Karl,

Yep gonna get rid of my rx, I wanna build something a bit special.
So will sell mine to fund it. Your problem on the turbo II is a familiar one where it runs rich on a hot restart. Can't be compression as you've only recently had a new engine put in, could possibly be fouled plugs, but knowing the way you maintain your car it won't be that, so suspect it's flooding when on a hot restart. I think some people get a fuel cut switch fitted in the interior somewhere and on a hot restart sitch the fuel off when the engine begins to fire then you switch it on and it starts up no problem. I'll see if your around the next time i'm in the area.
Take it easy mate.

another thought might be that it has not bedded in properly yet if the engine is that new?

thanks brian mate,can,t wait to see what u come up with.i will put a new set of plugs in tho jus to make sure and in answer to Trew yes it is a new engine an it sometimes does it when cold an u can smell the petrol an see vapour comin out of exhausts where it is flooding.i will try the new plugs and give it a good service when i have run the engine in.
thanx for your help guys an see ya soon bri mate an good luck wiv ya sale.it is a sweet ride mate,the exhaust note makes my window in my room vibrate when u pull up.
cheers again
