Since my last topics on here ive only just got round to getting the series out for a run since head gasket change and all the over heating problems.The main thing been the over heating problem has been cured, but now another problem is present.
Upon starting the series with full choke on, she will eventually fire after repeated attemps, but even with full choke on I have to let it warm up for ten minutes before touching the throttle or it will just die out
. Anyway once its warmed up and a few miles down the road the choke can be pushed fully in and it will idle on its own and is ok when driving, the problem is if you just rev gently and slowly, it bogs down and goes to stall followed by a back fire.If you rev hard its fine,, this can be a bit of a nightmare especially in slow moving traffic and when setting off from a stand still, aswell as this problem the fuel consumption is through the roof,the 2.25 petrol isnt good at the best of times but its currently doing around the 9-10 mpg if not less..
Automatically I thought the carburettor was at fault, and took it to bits and cleaned eveything several times to no avail. So urgently needing a soloution to this problem bought a new webber 34ich from paddocks and fitted this evening,, and you've guessed it,, no change what so ever.
Im a bit lossed on what to do next, fuel pump maybe?
Your thoughts and advice is much appreciated yet again
Just to give you a bit more info,
The plugs have changed this evening also, its running a electronic distributor and sports coil, new leads,new fuel filter fitted which came with new carb,Timing has been checked.
