For those who've been round a while when I was building my last buggy will know it was being built with a 998cc engine. Once it was near completion I took it for a couple of runs around the estate, on one of these runs it lost oil pressure & despite, new switch then new pump it didn't come back. So I got a 1275 which was what went through SVA & went with the buggy when sold. Well today I started the 1275 that's in the buggy, it has always been hard to turn over & would quite frequently backfire or at least fire & stop the engine turning. Figured the timing was out, so moved the disty to get it started & then timed it with a strobe, it's got electronic ignition so no points to worry about. Then it happened oil light came on & wouldn't go off, hopefully this time it's only the switch, but if not looks like I'll be running round for another engine, it's quite unbelievable & I wonder why I hate A series engine.
