Not Burning Fuel

[SLOTH Snr]

We have yet another problem since putting in the 7k.

once the motor seems to have warmed every time

you start getting past half throttle its like someones

pulled the choke out. Ease up and it runs like shit till

it's burnt off the extra fuel. A guy at motor improvments

said he had the same problem and just put larger points.

Has anyone else come across this before

float level, make sure the jets arent too big, make sure its gota return fuel line or it'll flood the inlet with fuel.

Get yourself a su carb and a manifold to suit your engine shoulnt cost much just hunt around, throw your other carby in the shed :sad:

i like this suggestion. but two SUs

Throw your old carby away along with the SUs and get yourself a 32-36 weber off a Escort / Cortina. A 7K should have no problems with this carb :jamie:

Pfft - I had a 32/36 on my 5k and it went alright.

I now have twin SU's and wheeeeeee.

 

I'm sure Jamie will agree.

 

P.S. He's already placed an order for all the bits and pieces to setup his twin SU's.

The SUs are better? Better hook myself up then :jamie:

Did anyone figure out what was wrong with Sloths carby? It used to work when the engine was first put into the car, right?

read his signature :jamie:

 

and while we're all having the "SU club" showday, here's mine :dance:

[SLOTH Snr]

Thanks guys. I have a set of su's from a triumph i'm about to fit up.

Didn't want to fit them until i had some idea of a cure and it sounds like

they might be it.

Buy the way did i tell you Dazza Bush (kangaroosas) is a legend.

The list of parts and suppliers he gave me for the su"s is brilliant.

The photos leave no doubt as were things go.

Hope to have the carbs fitted by sloth's twentieth.

Will let all know how it goes.
