Haha, ke55 was going with rego, ae86 has no rego, bent front rad support and isnt going although it does have reasonable suspension (tein coilovers etc.)

Hey guys, ended up resetting cam timing and played around with ignition timing etc. Got it running a fair bit better but not as good as it was before I changed the motor. Then swapped it for a ae86. Thankyou to those that gave me their input/ideas in this thread!

Alright so fuel was coming out the top of the carb when I pump the throttle without the engine on so I replaced the top portion of the carb (needle and seat, accel pump, float etc) Runs better down low now but still has the problem once you drive it over a certain amount of revs. spark plugs show signs of carbon fouling

Yeah manifolds have been off but have done them up and sprayed "start ya bastard" around manifold and seems to be no leaks there. Fuel pump is a ke70 one with the spacer it came with out of a running car, previously checked fuel bowel level and it was fine after running. Will go and check plugs after dying now. Might see if I can find another known working carb to try on it.

If I pull the choke out it sputters a bit and is slower to accelerate, still has the same problem when driving. It is the carb from the old motor that was running fine, I have changed the aircleaner though from one the size of my fist that was really dirty to a larger clean one

Hi guys, have a 1980 ke55 and I just took the motor out and replaced it with one from a ke70 while using the ke55 cam, carb, distributor, head etc. Has new coil, points, condenser, cap, rotor, leads, seals, headgasket etc. Timing set to 8degrees btdc, points set to 0.4mm, valve clearances set cold. Starts fairly easily and can rev in neutral easily like it used to but if i give the accelerator a few jabs it dies until it returns to idle, also when I take it for a test drive it doesn't want to rev easily and dies when I go over around 3000rpm. Just wondering if you guys can give me some tips or what your thoughts are on the problem and how to fix it? First time posting on here so hope this is the right section, thanks.
