Hi all hoping someone can help me with the problem. So my vl will start and idle fine, idle can be a bit low when cold but besides that it's ok. After driving for about 15-20 minutes and the car gets warm, I've noticed that the gauge on the fuel pressure reg will drop to zero, the idle will also...

FINAL UPDATE: The fuel tank was full of ****, which clogged the fuel pump. Cleaned the tank and replaced the fuel pump, now the car works perfectly. UPDATE 3: So i took my car to a mechanic, he said the problem was the MAF sensor, bought a new MAF sensor... Still has the same problem. I am...

So i have a VL Executive. I believe the timing is out of whack. I'm wondering how i can time it when the little marks on the pulley are actually broken off. I really would like to avoid buying a new pulley if i can because i've already spent more money on my VL than i really wanted to. Here's...

Hi guys. I'm new here, but the rust bucket I've just brought tells me I'll be here quite often. She's a 89 VL Royale - RB30e. When you give it a bit of gas, even just a little, it splutters, coughs, and sometimes dies - and smoke comes out the pod. The worrying thing is, the belts...

Hey guys. I have an RB30 N/A sitting in my shed on a stand waiting for me to tear it to pieces. Now initially I had planned to simply strip it down and give it a basic rebuild for two reasons. 1- The motor hasnt exactly had the easiest of lives, so it could probably do with one. 2 - Ive need...
