Hey guys,

I'm having some issues with my old girl ( the car... My mums fine)

It started a few weeks ago and has gotten progressively worse,

I could start the car and drive for a good ten minutes then it would start to die but if I then pulled over it would start again and hold idle but if you reved it,

Would be fine then "miss" cough and start to die again, sometimes if you were light with your foot you could recover idle before it died.

 

I used compressed air to blow out the fuel filter that was a little blocked...

And noticed the clear plate on the front of the carby that shows fuel level was next to empty..

I then decided to bypass the filter and it's still dieing and won't hold idle for longer than 20 seconds when it's running it's fine..

 

I noticed the second throttle pipe it bone dry...

I suspect the second jets not working I don't know any one help??

 

 

Thanks in advance

Jack

hay i have seen this before its a certain thing in the carby to do with accelerater pump the plunger or something not to sure has the car been sitting for a long time at all

 

things perish when they are left in the dry for long times

Admittly it got worse when i didnt drive it for a bit just looked again barrel 2 is bone dry and I can't see the butterfly's open up real well I think I've narrowed it to carby for sure

itll be that if its running out of fuel and choking down or its getting to much fuel (i doubt) and flooding

 

yeah rebuild the carby or.

 

i just got some new carbs ( twin side drafts ) havent installed them

 

but ill be getting rid of the original carb and intake manifold if u want bro
