howdy folks,
well, it's been a while, but i'm back on the list now and have a
question. lately i have been noticing that my midget ( a '66 with a
1275cc engine in it) not only has one hell of a rough time starting when
it is cold this winter, but also when i finally get it started, it has a
heck of a rough time around 3000rpm. if i try to rev it to 3000 rpm after
it has been started it will stall. eventually, after it runs for a while,
it just has a bit of a flat spot at 3000rpm that you have to be mindful
of when shifting through the gears. it's almost like the fuel supply is
being choked off at that point. i've pulled the supply line, and it seems
that i'm getting a good fuel volume coming out. i also changed out the
filter which didn't seem to help much. could this be a sticking needle
valve, bad float/float setting, crud in the jets....? anyone having
similar problems? appreciate any comments.
one other thing. i think i brought this up before, but it's been
a while ago. i did put solid stainless steel core ignition wires to
replace the old graphite core which were pretty well shot. one thing i
wasnt sure of though was the interference coming from these wires and
could it affect the crane xr-700 unit that i have installed. well, the
other day i had the car stated in the driveway and noticed it produced a
healthy amount of interference on the tv inside. i knew these wires would
throw out a lot of interference, but it really hit home when i saw the
lines on the tv set inside the house. could i be doing any harm to my
xr-700 unit by using these wires? should i go back to graphite core wires?
any thoughts?
thanx
glen
