Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club

hey guys.

i have just changed my cam belt, and head gasket.

changed all the fluids.

it is increadibly difficuly to start.

all the timing marks line up. i did not disturb the fuel lines as i did not need to, the head was in ok condition when i changed the gasket.

when i turn the key, i get the sound of the fuel system priming. turn it over and it will not start. it will only start with throttle. and alot of it. even to the point of pumping the throttle. i know this is not normal. as before she started on the button every time.

it is getting to the point i will be offering her up for sale as she is doing my nut in, and i beggining to get to the point where i cannot be bothered.

any help would be really greatful.

kindest regards
tony

fogot to add, when she is started, she runs fine. no lag. clean crisp acceleration. but when i stop the engine. it is still difficult to start.

scratch that. any one want it? £200 ono. needs head skimming.
