Well, the problem with my car is fixed.
All I did last night was undo the screws on the top of the float chamber -
lift off the top - wiggle the plastic thing - and put it back on. She goes!
So I drove to work today, and everything was going fine. Can you guess there
is a "but" coming? But....
I decided to get happy with a roundabout - whoosh she flies alright -
however by the time I get to change up to second - she does what she did on
Monday... aha ha! I now know it was a fuel starvation problem - so I pull
the choke - and like Michael Knight! I have turbo boost! Anyway - so its
running like it should - so I push the choke back in to see what happens -
weirdly - its now fixed again. So I get to work no problem.
Anyone got any ideas what this is?
It seems that - basically when the revs get a little too high - maybe
4500-5000 - it then starts to starve the engine of fuel - doesn't pull -
then when I pull the choke - it bursts in to life - and then when I push it
back in - it starts working again.
At least I know how to solve this problem now, but I am curious why it would
do this - so I can fix it - because something must be wrong.
