MK2 Ford Cortina 1600e! - WILL IT START? (Day 2) 

the sounds on here remind me of so many mornings in the 80s and 90s trying to get my ancient cortinas or escorts started so i could get to work!

Brings back memories of my old Cortina crispy guys

I remember the Kent engines. A good simple engine that was relatively easy to work on and, if serviced regularly, would give little trouble. A fair performer too for the time.

Well done for sticking with it for our entertainment 5 stars

Top watch tonight. Loved the close ups of Ben concentrating, and standing around. Lazy, but a leg end.. Excellent

Perseverance pay's off! Nice one guys, been entertaining to watch both these videos 👍

Hi from Durham guys 👋 👍 what a toppa it ran 👌 and for the fact you never opened carbon or hit Gill chamber the flaot needle and jet probe weren't even letting fuel thru so was just running on start fluid but yep it popped off👍 if you mixed a bottle of petrol with drop of 2 stroke oil and went straight down it's throat it might of been more productive under bottle feed tho great shout 👌 woohoo thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋

Bloody hell that was tense I was on the edge of my seat but I new old marky boy wouldn't disappoint his fans 👍Remember folks suck squeeze bang blow 😛😜🤪

you lads make me smile keep up the good work

Great video guys it will run again for longer keep up the good work brilliant channel top bloke's ❤️👍👍👍

Good stuff guys 👊🏻 she is a runner . Always BIG RESPECT from the West Midlands 👍🏻😎👊🏻🔥

Love these start the old hen boxes up again, great to see Marcus is breathing new life into an ol hen box. This same old OHV ford 4Cyl engine was used for years right up to end of the 90s in fiestas and escorts with electronic ignition and then single point injection. Was pretty strong and reliable Reminds me of being an apprentice in a Ford Dealership working on the same engine OHV used in the later ford fiestas and the tappets needing set and sounding like a bag of spanners. 1 down set 8 6 down set 9. Me mechanic explaining the rule of "9" when setting valve clearences and then the engine sounding really quiet. Customer used to think they got an new engine , only took 30 mins to do. Good memories 27 years ago :)

Well done for getting the poor Cortina’s heat beating. The tough part is the rust. It’s so rotten bless it.

Absolutely brilliant these will it run episodes are the dog's bollocks fellas

I was willing it to start. Still can't get over the rot on that thing! Somebody's pride and joy once upon a time. Such a shame. '

I knew Marcy's boy would get it going , excellent video boys heeeeeeee 👍

Massive Heeeeeeee boys!! 💪 Well done Marky boy, good old x-flow lives again!! Awesome 😎

Marky boy is the man. Good video lads thanks for the content

I enjoyed that lads. Thankyou.

I live near York been too four places today for some Easy Start without finding any turns out there lads at Baxenden have cornered the world market in Easy Start great video lads

The engine lives on well worth the breakfast.

ford crossflow engines never die

Well done I knew he would get it to run again!x

Evening chaps Just put petrol straight in the carb , that easy start won’t do much if the carb is bone dry , you think it’s got to get all the way into the inlet manifold and pistons

Yehaw. It's a runner good old cross flow.🤟👍

I love the way they set the garage door at five foot five so everyone can just hit theirs heads on it!

You should do a series of Ben going round all over the country promoting baxendens car breakers to different car breakers, companies etc I’d watch that!

great tension , great result !

Hallo 🙂! Schönen Nachmittag! Hoffentlich kommt noch ein Video von dem Ford Cortina MK2 1600E Mit freundlichen Grüßen 😎!

Yay!!! Well done lads!!!

Nice one lads personally I would of put fuel down the carb it would of ran longer 👍

Cracking old sewing machine ,Kent’s are so strong shame it didn’t run properly,I had 2 out of the box E’s in the late seventies and early eighties they are best cortina except for heavy steering ❤

Guten Abend! Hallo! Super Videos! Ich habe auch so einen Ford Cortina MK2 1600E ! Gruß aus Austria! Macht weiter so!

love the increase in production value

It’s a runner…minus the body though. Well done

This Cortina will sure need a alot of work and time to have it looking new again ..... I'd look for a donor shell and take what's good and useable to build a useable mk 2 Cortina ....etc 🤩😃😁

Well done Marky

These are so much fun. Makes me wish I was from up north rather than being a soft rich southerner😄

Cant wait to see what old crock you pick up next.Did you get any others of that old guys collection beside this one and the escort?

That’s nice to go then after revision is good what you got to do now then and will it run let’s see what eventually got to see if it even sounds pretty good actually Marky boy should have a brekkie pension

Brilliant boys it ran next video will it pass its mot

Had a mk2 replica GT back in the day with 1600, a twin choke Weber, extractors and don't know what cam it had but it ran nicely.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'll give it 👍👍👍 did run nano seconds lol Hey John likes been on camera now 🤭

É pena esse carro estar nesse estado!!bom trabalho

Its heartbreaking to see this 1600E in this state

Hope to see part 3 restotraion cortina

I think we can say she’s a runner so let’s do those stone chips and get it down the road for an MOT! 😎

Brilliant lads I loved your guts and determination too get it going 👏 👏😃

I was shouting get SOMR FUEL IN THE BAS:@:D THING

fires just but now addicted to tractor crack ! yeeeehaaa

My Dad use to have a Cortina Mark 2 in the 80's, i can't beleive the State of this vehicle, Has this vehicle been in some sort of fire??

What pomade does ben use?👀

I'll bet that engine has loads of back pressure.you really need a 12v electric fuel pump also on your pipe and can.

Ben is no 1

Yee haa down the carb 😍

The picture shown is a MK ll cortina guys

Pay rise for marky ?

What are doing with all the scrap pallets? I know a lad who will take them all of you👍 One thing I don’t understand🤷 why don’t you pipe a proper petrol supply up, rather than spraying easystart into the engine, I was under the impression Easy start is not good for engines🤔

You need a moggy minor electric pump and little lawnmower tank for your 'will it starts'

1600 yeE-haaaa !

that's it Cowboy's, burn the starter out

We don,t care, crush the blinkin thing. Cheers

Yep. A dash of fuel would have got it going sooner

I stuck a 1600E engine in our old series 1 Transit, put a diesel bonnet and front on it. WAY better than the 1700 V4, crap engine!!! Never really heard that engine run though, bit disappointing tbh.

yeehaa in the carb lol your all bonkers oh brilliant musical interlude shes a runner

It’s got to rev to be a runner 😅

You guys are not listening to the engine. When its going to start dont spray it. Over spraying is the same as flooding it. Your supposed to add more spray/ fuel when it sounds like its losing power/ going to cut off to keep it running. Cheers!

🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Chuck that fukin easy start over the nearest hedge AMATEURS

Fucx me I remember being only 15 learning to rebuild cross flow engine

Could you guys help me get a car for my son he not in work at this present moment he is my carer takes two hours to get to me before it took him 20 mins when his car was ok but it failed mot he had to scrap it i am a pensioner

No no no start my cup tea if you start it

First 💪

I thought Marcus would get it running.

should of put petrol in carb and had a bottle with a pipe straight to carb would av went alot sooner AMATEURS!!!

she lives

Sort yourselves a boat tank and fuel pump and forget about the easy start, you’ll have more success

god i hate those inertia starters

Nice one boys , well peachy 🍑

Heeeeeeeeeee!
