Hope you bring it back! btw your images aren't working but it looks like the fault of amazon cloudfront/s3. Thanks - my battery went flat before I could fix it. Sorted now! |

Walbro fuel pump being delivered later this week.
Hopefully that will help get Ronin running again.

That deserves a little tlc. 🙂
What was going on with the instruments? The rest of the interior looks spot on (except for the top of the door cards).
Looks like this has had a lot of your time & cash on it. It’ll be great once again👍🏻

Yep. Around 12 years of blood sweat, money and tears went into Ronin. My other cars took the lions share of available contents from my wallet though and he sadly got side-lined (Much to my regret).
I've had several attempts to try and resurrect him, but too many distractions (and other cars) got in the way.Now I'll have to put some proper effort in to get him sorted, before he deteriorates any further. It's unfortunately become a much bigger job due to my neglect.
The biggest issue atm is not being able to get him started! Once that's addressed I have all new pads and discs to fit and then need to get the windscreen wipers working so an MoT is possible!
The instrument binnacle is missing as I removed my K.G. Works gauge cluster and custom Revlimiter gauge faces to protect them from the damp.

I've always liked this car. Well worth bringing back from the brink. Good luck!

Installed the new Walbro GSS250 fuel pump this afternoon. Still not priming though.
Must be the relay, or I have some other unknown electrical issue.
It was fun tinkering with Ronin again after such a long time though. . .

check the B6S8 ? It's my favourite to check first.
You can open it up and clean the two contacts with a strip of paper soaked in contact cleaner (or carb cleaner).

Relay isn't working (No click). Pump primes when jumped to ground in the diagnostic box.
Still won't start though, even with the pump running. Had one big backfire, so obviously getting a spark. Pulled the plugs (they are new) and they were wet, so no fuel blockage.
Scratching my head now.

Put a spark plug tester on #1 plug. No spark.
Replaced the coil pack (had a spare in the garage) and still nothing.
I hate electrical issues.
Will plug in the laptop and see if the MegaSquirt ECU is ok.

a click may not be enough, I've had one that clicked but wouldn't give enough current to run the pump properly (low fuel pressure).
ignition/timing if you do have some fuel on the plugs. cas ?
also did you check the big ignition relay under the dash ? it's much bigger than the B6S8, I think it's called B577.
