Hi Guys,
I've got a 'C' reg 2.5 Petrol 90, still with it's original engine (possibly).
When she gets a bit warm she starts to cough and splutter as if she's running out of fuel, although she's not, and then starts to die unless i ease up off the gas. This is fine until it gets to the point that i could push her faster.
To start with i found out that the fuel line was getting too hot and the fuel was overheating in the pipe before it got into the carb.
I solved this, or so i thought, by getting a longer fuel hose and running around the LH wing. This worked for a bit, but the fuel line is still getting too hot on longer journeys.
Without cutting holes in the bonnet and fitting big vents or fitting liquid nitrogen cooling, does anyone know how i can fix this?
