Many thanks RJ I had to pull the plugs and prime the pots with oil, but eventually, after kicking a bit then back sliding, it fired up and is now running very smoothly. A good lesson in letting the engine warm up before shutting off. I will be checking the tensioners in the near future, the car is not needed, so won't be used until I have.

 

That's great news. If you haven't done so yet, download the repair manual JTIS21 from the Sticky, or find a copy on disc if possible.

If you need to post again with more issues, open a new thread. Not everyone will bother with an old one that someone has hitched on to. You'll have more response.

 

will do. Thanks again for the assistance.
