Just removed the top of the carb and found this floating around in the float chamber
Cud this be the cause of my fuel leak I wonder
Did you gets big can of carb cleaner?? It's a must matey.. Just take your time take of one by one keep them in sequence clean and replace everything one at a time and you can go wrong.. What boost you running? Do you have an AFR kit fitted? If bigger boost you could alter your stages while your at it..
Yeah mate got a big can! Lol just running around 10 psi at the mo with no afr fitted at the mo but I do have a bigger downpipe with bung Welded in to go on, do future Plan is to up boost but not at the mo, was just gona try leave everything as it is for the time beingOriginally Posted by Nottswoody
Rebuilt the carb last night and put it back on
Seems to idle fine and no more fuel leak, the diaphragm had a small hole in it. Gona take it for a spin later after some dinner see how it runs
Well done bud.. You see it's easy :-)
Haha it took me nearly 4 hrs! Lol but she runs great, bin out in her this afty and god I've missed driving her, Pleanty of boosting going on today lol. Not sure if she's idleing a little lower than before tho, wot do they usually idle at? Can't remember
Mines about 950 bud just baubles nicely but the guys might tell you different.. Believe me matey after six months you will do everything with your eyes shut that's why I love them easy to work on.. Do you know how to adjust the revs? You really should buy an AFR gauge bud its the first and best mod!!
I know bud it's on the list next mod lol. Not sure how to adjust idle ?
To the left of the mixture screw you will see a flat head screw wind it in very slowly one way is up the revs and one way is down the revs.. Simples
Very nice!
I've got a red 5 as well, nice to know they're fairly rare. Yours looks a lot cleaner than mine though.
I desperately need a new red bonnet and red front grille if anyone can help
Cheers mate, it's not bad, bit faded and few dings but she's good lolVery nice!
