  2. Acceleration Annoyance

    in General Mechanical

    Posted

    I had a similar problem to you with the stock carbie, would flat spot when you accelerate and had to rely on the choke even in the middle of summer :yes: . I don't know what was causing it unfortunatly, checked for blocks, changed the accelerator pump but couldnt find anything. I gave up with it soon after, there could be many things causing it and since I had access to a weber, it was an easy decision to swap to that instead of stocky aisan :yes:

     

    Get a weber :hmm:

     

    ^^^^Exactly what I did. Made a hell of a difference. Car runs alot better, no flat spots, and, it starts and runs fine first go in the middle of winter. Would reccomend it if you can get your hands on one.

  4. Engine Flooding?

    Tomorrow I'll take the carbie apart and check the condition of the N+S and gasket. I noticed a little whistile coming from the carbie today when the engine decelerates so there is a vacuum leak somewhere :yes: , most likely the carb gasket. It never used to do this so I am starting to think that a new kit through the carbie would be the best bet, then get it rejetted. Again, will post on the outcome.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll be replacing the N+S sometime this week hopefully if I get some spare time. I found a couple of carbie places in town, so on the weekend I'll give them a call and try and get the carbie jetted correctly for the 1.3L. I'll post on here the outcome after the N+S is replaced and/or the carb jetted.

     

    Thanks again

    The 32/36 has no loose wires hanging anywhere, and as far as I can see, there isn't anywhere where it would be possible to connect wires to.

    At the moment the solenoid wire (precisionly marked by arrow :yes: ) isn't plugged to anything so maybe that is messing with things. :hmm: I'll have another search on the carb for where wires may be possible to attach to it. Thanks for the help des, i'll see what i can come up with after another search :y:

     

    If anyone has any other ideas of what may cause the problem, feel free to leave your 2c input :yes:

    Hey guys,

     

    My dad and I recently installed a 32/36 DGAV Weber on the 4K as the old Aisan one that was on there had basically lost it's will to live. The carbie is working pretty damn nicely however we just encountered little problem and are unsure what is causing it.

     

    The problem is that after the car has been driven around for a while(5minutes or more)then turned off, it doesnt like to start up again straight away. (noticed when trying to start the car after stopping at the petrol station :yes: ) You kinda have to let it sit a bit then try again. Once it finally starts, it gurgles for abit at about 300rpm then slowly rises to a normal idle(1000rpm). It seems as if the engine is flooding after the car is switched off. Was wondering if it would be:

     

    A) The carb not jetted correctly for the engine or

    B) Something to do with not having a fuel return line so any unburnt fuel in the carb is just running into the manifold.

     

    Just wondering knows about/has experianced the same problem and may know a possible solution.

     

    Thanks for your help,

    Hello All,

     

    So I got myself a 4-speed manual KE70 Corolla for $500 and started "sprucing" it up a bit. The car was in Okay condition when i purchased it however it needed some panel beating and fresh paint. also the rims made it look a tad better. Ive got most of the interior and exterior done, however the stock 1.3L engine doesn't quite have enough go for my liking :jamie: Does anyone have any suggestions for a higher power engine that is relatively easy/cheap to come across that works well in a KE70? Any suggestions welcome.

     

    here is a picture of the car so far...
