hi, recently noticed i had now choke flap in my carb so located one since fitting the flap i can not get the mixture right starts fine with choke on but will not idle under 1500rpm am not very familer with carbs so not to sure what im doing anyone in the marsh barton/Exeter fancy tring to sort this problem for me?thanks liam
from my understanding screw the mixture screw all the way in then out 1 and 1/4 turns if im wrong im sure some1 will correct me
Have you messed with the idle screw to try and lower the revs?
I thought it was 2 and a half turns but i might be wrong too RobOriginally Posted by modfather
yeah unfortunatly its all been messed about with a guy tired adjusting it up for me and managed to lose my mixture screw no prob phoned renault 98p mixture screw sortedthen just struggled getting it runing right
we probly both wrong
liam do you have a haynes manual
i dont but i think a mate of mine does.. so i could ask him if he still has it.. have been told from previous owner it has group A carb and a different cam but im not sure. i have stripped carb down everything looks ok having also playyed with the mixture and idle screw i thort i could sort it but i cant seem to i am currently a training mechanic but eveyone at work i speak to says dunno i have asked at the college i train at and they also say dunno so running out of ideas
So did he adjust just the mixture screw? or the mixture and idle screw?yeah unfortunatly its all been messed about with a guy tired adjusting it up for me and managed to lose my mixture screw no prob phoned renault 98p mixture screw sorted
Sorry you just posted as i posted. Could be the acc pump jet letting fuel trickle down on idle. tTake the carb top off and see if the brass nozzle on the side of the venturi is trickling fuel. It shouldnt be leaking on idle.
