    Re: More Carb help......

    Sorry been out the office all morning......

    Firstly, thanks Dawn for the bump thread.

    Sparkie - ........1.7 restrictor? dont recall ever seeing one. where does it go?

    Idle jet is a 45 and has the black seal but will try PTFE too.

    I will unwind the mixture screw when i get home but im sure it has the o ring around it. the screw slowly tightens at rather than suddenly stopping at the end of its thread.

    I'll see how i get on tonight but might shoot down, can you PM me your number so i can give you a call first or check for some further advise?

    DJ - I'm sure it is leaking air as all signs suggest this, just got to find out where. I just rebulit the carb but only to the instructions in the box which are in all honesty rubbish. The club article has all the photo's missing. I may have missed an important seal?

    Ian - Yeah, pisser about the garage, no come back either, suppose its one of those things. At least me and rich now know how to change a HG.

    Regarding my T28, now i've taken it off it has considerable play in the shaft so dont think its just the oil breathers.

    Re: More Carb help......

    i think the restrictor that sparkie is talking about is basically within the tpeice.

    Between the hose that goes from teh back of the inlet, the hose that goes to the telephone/airfilter nd the hose and another oen that goes to the side of teh oil breather pot (i think) there is a black tpeice, within that these is 2 restrictors, 1 small 1 larger, these can drop out or go dwn the hose, i found without these my cars would not idle, also it popped a lot when on the over run.

    No need to bin it, i fixed the idle in about 30 seconds at national day years ago..lambda boss was way too far away from turbo for accurate idle afrs. Tuned it by ear, idle screw was too high and adjusted mixture to suit. Not exactly rocket science.
