ke1x Posted May 25, 2004 Report Posted May 25, 2004 had a few hassles getting my son to school this morning. driving along and the car starts spitting and farting like it was running out of juice. the fuel guage was low, so i assumed it had run out of fuel. the car stopped, so we went for fuel. get back, put a tin of fuel in and the car starts first pop. weird, it should have taken longer for the fuel to pump through. anyway it is still doing the same thing. i work out if i give it full throttle and slip the clutch i can still get places. anything below full throttle and it would just die. after i got home i started the car and sprayed carby cleaner around the base gasket, the engine instantly stopped. ah, major vacuum leak. one of the 8 studs on the adapter plate for the DMTT weber had stripped. i found another one long enough to put a nut underneath, problem solved. the car runs so much better, and i can now set about sorting this carb out properly. some pics of my afternoon project below. bit rough, but for the money who cares.
