I've had the same problem . I had to prime the fuel pump . For it to work
*Posted 34 seconds ago* Damn what a coincidence that the moment I wanted to watch a video about old Fords... The king himself posts 🤣
King Charles has an Old Ford too??? 😀
You’ll need something called arbour mast to seal you windows. I use it all the time as I’m a windscreen fitter 👍
Sikaflex for windscreens. It cures under water too. I use it for sealing my fishtanks and gluing the filter to the glass when there's a deep clean due. The only problem is you have to cut it off because once dry you'll smash the glass before it gives up.
Well done pal its going to look sweet👏👏
You are a clever guy not many people can do what your doing and explain at the same time . And using a multi meter. Good work mate
Thanks for the positivity mate! 👍 I just make it up as I go along! 😃 These cars are very simple which is the beauty of them.
@@marcushayesfordno mate you no your stuff . Not many people can do what you just did . Nice to watch as a mechanic/ engineer
@@philliptuck5884 It always blows my mind when pros like you appreciate my work. It’s fair to say I’ve built up a reputation for being a bit of a bodger at times, but it’s all good fun. 👍
@@marcushayesford mate it’s hard work just fixing cars . Never mind doing videos . Do you think for one minute other people could do it better on a low budget. No it’s a skill.. I always click straight on your vids
@@philliptuck5884 I appreciate you tuning in mate! 👍👍👍
What a result on the engine, it's always nice to hear it run 👍👍👍
It’s defo given me a little boost hearing it run mate. 👍
@@marcushayesford keep them videos coming 😁😁
Haha an English man with no top on during summer driving an escort…. Nothing more English than that. Great vid Marcus 🫡
the main power to the coil should only read ~9v as it will go through a ballast resistor in the loom, the idea of the lead from the starter solenoid is to give extra power at 12v during cranking to help provide a bigger spark, that is therefore the wrong cable you have put on the coil
also check you have the right voltage coil. i think it should be 8volts (normal running) but has the full battery voltage when cranking.
Oh and never use carb cleaner or brake clean to get the engine running, both will strip oil off the cylinder walls, use a bit of premixed 2 stoke pre mix or just regular petrol into the carb
You sometimes need to prime the pump to get a dry pump to start working
easiest way you could of done is file the carb bowl up as its enough for it to run for a minute or 2 also the if im not mistaken the mechanical pump works on gravity reason why the fuel line on the escort face down for the fuel to flow to the pump. plus a electric fuel pump would of worked well for these type of starts, i have a spare electric pump just incase the mechanical one fails
Awsome Marcus you got her running an achievement pal keep going mate 👍
Yay Heidi is somewhat alive good progress and can only wait to see how she purrrs running all done set up m8👍
blue escort looks really nice in the sun
The ford Escort mechanical fuel pump has a diaphragm to pump the fuel. Just replace the internals with a replacement kit.
Another great video mate keep them coming your doing a fantastic job..Mike
Can't wait to watch this video been waiting for this as I've just put a 1300 crossflow in my 100e prefect
Cool! 👍 Have you had it running yet mate???
@marcushayesford no but shouldn't be far now have custom radiator core support done and radiator is in with motor just need to do a few touch up thing then move on to putting mk2 escort rear end in
Sounds like you are making awesome progress mate! 👍 fair play! 👍
Just think the fuel pump might work better if the fuel can was above the engine so gravity helps the vacuum from the pump. I might be wrong though
Massive step forward mate, well done 👍
Well cool 😎 thanks M H
Great video, good to see Heidi's crossflow running. great hack with the mic on the Sunny's as well..top stuff, best wishes to you and Cat and for the Ford show. Noroc din Bucuresti. ( Best wishes from Bucharest).
awesome job mate Satisfying when all your hardworking pays off and you can hear her run , for the minute you could place the petrol cam on top of your inner wing then get petrol pipe without the filter on suck the pipe till you get petrol in your mouth 😂 and quickly connect it to your carb then you should be able to hear it longer without having to keep pouring it in maybe , have a fire extinguisher at hand just in case though , iam well chuffed for you marcus 👍🏻👍🏻
Congrats 👏👏👏👏
Nice one mate! Try spraying carb cleaner down the inlet and outlet pipes to try and wet and soften the diaphragm… let it soak for a bit and re try mate it may help as pump will be dry as ! Also mate that main earth will need to paint scraped back on the inner wing 👍great to hear her run and blow flames if you saw that !?! 🤣🤣well done
Like others have said try getting fuel fully down the pipe to the pump first I expect it needs to be primed, probably easier using the og tank with low outlet, suck/ thumb over pipe and connect quick perhaps? Before you shell out on a different one
Marcus just casually reminding me that we are all real and being a genuine human being. ❤… negative 12 fakeness going on here and I love it 😂
Defo the mechanical fuel pump. Swop it out. :)
It will be a wet pump fill the pump.
Maybe an electric fuel pump? It's ideal for a car that you are going to use from time to time to reduce cracking time.
I have one for carburators, Hüco is the brand, dead silent and super reliable.
Are you sure that the coil set up is not for a ballast resistor, they have a 7.5v coil which is feed 12v from solenoid when cranking for a better spark and when running it is fed through the ballast resistor to reduce the voltage to not burn out the coil.
It's a 12 volt coil that John gave me when we rebuilt the cylinder head. I may need to find and bypass the balast wire, but at this stage I need to solve the fuel pump issue. When I measured the coil feed it showed 12 volts (as I showed in this video) so MAYBE the car doesn't have a balast wire??? I seem to remember with 'Esther' years ago that even with a balast wire that test will show 12v BUT when you test it with the engine running it will show 9 volts if it has a balast. 👍
Hey Marcus i have to say your lucky as all Ford cars back 4 years or more have a bid issue with water coming in from vents behind back bumper costing over 500 pounds in repairs lol
id think twice on a purchase of one unless it has been repaired. Its bad that Ford will not cover their bad mistake
'Esther' and 'Maude' both let water in 🙁 their rear lights! I just drilled holes in the spare wheel & fuel tank wells to let the water escape. 👍
@@marcushayesford My frinds 2018 focus was soaked rigt under the seats & cost him 500 by ford to put right
The rubbers are supposed to have an insert which makes them tighter.
@@user-rb1lv3qv7s Thanks for the advice mate. The inserts are fitted. I bought black ones because I didn’t want chrome. 👍
Either diaphragm, or maybe try to move the fuel can up as its a lot harder to fight gravity
What about the glass side of rubber water can't run up hill
Nice to hear the cross flow running…sort of. Have you had the fuel pump apart? Is the diaphragm ok?
No the pump was sent to me by a subscriber. If I remember rightly he had it sitting around for years. I'll whip it out at some point soon and see if I can manually pump it so see if it pumps. I wonder if its not engaging with the bit inside the engine that makes it work??? But Im guessing that might not actually be possible seeing as it is fitted flush to the block ok. 👍
@@marcushayesford I didn’t get a good look at the fuel pump. Are there bolts around the flange? It just sounds to me like a bad diaphragm. Dead easy to replace. Whatever it is, I hope it turns out a simple fix. If it’s sat too long. Things just dry/rot out inside.
Why was the fan not turning while you were trying to wind her over?
No fan belt attached to it.
Stripped down car... stripped down bloke in it lol😅
Only real issue is After driving 2x zetecs you may find that 1300 xflow slightly underwhelming.
@@daver3874 Very true but I’m in the fortunate position where I can always jump in one of the other cars whenever I fancy a proper blast. 👍
@@marcushayesford To be fair, my Mk1 was at it’s most reliable when it had it’s original 1300, even used it as a daily for years no issues. Then with other engines came the problems!
Sounds like the diaphragm has gone dry in the fuel pump
Where's maude
In ‘Esther’s’ garage mate. Abandoned! 😀
Fake taxi ! 😁
Maybe a new steer mate 🤔.
I loved the strategically placed harness straps over your tits 😂
As always mate welldone
Another milestone achelived withe the engine starting for the first time .
Keep it up brother 💪
