Re: GE front end on GJ scorpion

Guess i will start with the first issue first. Was never a fan of the GJ-GN scorpion front ends. To be honest Ive owned two GH scorpions, which I loved. I dislike the front end, tail lights, shorter rear windscreen, interior and side profile of the later scorpions. I only bought it because it was ch...

The vacuum advance is attached to the old carby, the thing you are talking about is the egr valve just below the carb. they are part of the anti emissions gear, which will be all but useless with your new carb. thats if it is even working the get clogged with carbon not long after they leave the fac...

At that pressure, the engine is doing itself damage, no matter what rpm.

I use a 20psi switch just to be sure.
What sender are you using, my gn runs the 5 psi one. 20 psi seems more reasonable where did you get it?

oh and as far as i know there isn't any variations on the 4G52 timing chain wise (maybe a 1000000/1 non balance shaft model) post a pic of the engine and we might be able to spot any anomaly's. i would be pretty confident that is your kit.

this is what your tensioner looks like the triangly thing behind that chain.
