There has been a bunch of OT threads lately, so i think we should try to keep it all the ot talk in one place. I know the e36 forum rocks, and all the other forums suck big time :bigpimp:, yet we need to stay on topic....

i did start it before and revved it a little but there was a serious issue.. it didnt feel like it was running on all cylinders..

so i took it apart and saw there was an issue ..

only 3 of the coils were in :facepalm:

so i put the finishing touches on her today

and started her up and it sounded like an ls1 without mufflers :D :wow::yikes:

tommorow i hope to get almost everything done

Frank you're about to be my hero. You've almost pulled off a motor swap most people said couldn't be done because of all the wiring. :thumbup:

I on the other hand can't get a simple bike tuned right. Fussy cold starts, wandering idle, and lean surge to name a few symptoms.

Could be a leak at the exhaust gaskets, new ones on the way, could have been the pilot jets, I cleaned those out tonight. Can't be the valves, checked them and they are in spec.

The carbs may just need to be synced, but I need a ratcheting TINY flathead screwdriver at a 90* angle to do it.


Can't decide if I'm going to take it or the bimmer to work tomorrow.
