SternBlend Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) You'll be looking min. $250 to get someone to recondition carbi, if your going to do it get a carbi kit and do it yourself. For absolute novices every time you pull a piece off take a picture to refer back to later. Can't go wrong. As altezza said may not be carbi all other options are cheaper. Sounds to me like your fuel line is blocked and your not getting enough fuel for the revs into second. My old girl idled ok when sitting and ok through gears but when slowing down for lights would start to splutter and stall, new fuel line fixed her.

fkj Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 My first plan of attack is going to be new fuel line and filter. Then I'll look at timing etc, if thats not it, it will be time to cough up some $$$ for a carby recon, or go straight for a new carby, webber or something ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I can't see the problem being the filter or the fuel line if you've flushed them out, and PARTICULARLY as the amount of fuel needed to idle is a fraction of the fuel needed to accelerate. Maybe its flooding from too much fuel in the bowl at idle... dirt under the needle & seat.. If you are worried about fuel delivery, just take the fuel line off at the carb & stick it in a jar, pull the lead off the coil and crank the motor for 15seconds exactly. If you post up how many ml of fuel per time we can do the same and check it for you. You can spend a lot of money and not solve the problem sometimes.

fkj Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) I will do exactly that later this evening. Will get back to you with mL/15 secs. Edit: Fuel filter paper looks ridiculously dirty already, after flushing it yesterday. Edited March 30, 2012 by fkj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Edit: Fuel filter paper looks ridiculously dirty already, after flushing it yesterday. Might pay to drain the tank, remove it and wash it out with petrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkj Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Bought a new fuel filter and that fixed the problem for a couple weeks, but its back and worse than ever. Now it doesn't idle, and shudders when driving, although everything runs absolutely fine with the choke out, but of course this isn't too practical, driving around blowing smoke haha. My mechanic has said he thinks the idler jet must be blocked, and has recommended a carby rebuild, but not too keen on spending the $300 I was quoted for that.

ke70dave Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 sounds like your idle jet is blocked. Pull carby appart, clean thoroughly, put back together. perhaps your tank is full of crap, and your fuel filter needs replacing again.

fkj Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Still having problems, tried this, but to no avail; Cheap and nasty way to clean carby. Swap 2 and 3 plug leads around. Hold foot flat Crank engine Watch it backfire through carby a couple of times Swap plug leads back to where they should be. Oh and make sure you remove the aircleaner before you do this.................... I guess I'm gonna have to pull the carb apart, if anyone has the workshop manual and they could scan and send me the pages on the carby, it would be much appreciated, because otherwise I'm going in blind. Really need this back on the road, hardly idles with the choke out anymore, too lean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
