I managed it man. All i did was printed the guide from the articles section. Got a real clean work surface and some vingar to wash parts in , and took my time doing it section by section and highlighting it as i went along. If you are worried about getting any of it back together take a pic.

I'm planning on doing my carb soon as I have no idea what state it is in internally but given how bodged the rest of the car has been no doubt it needs it! Some pretty good guides in the article section I doubt it will be much hassel to do.

Whats the best way to bring the actual carb housing up like new, a rub down and some silver paint? or bead blast it? naturally all gasket faces and what not would be covered.

To clean mine up I used a screwdriver to scrape the worst off, a stiff brush and some wire wool. It doesn't look like new but its clean enough for me :)

Markey B done one with a dremmel and it looks amazing.

your throttle stop idling speed is satisfatory right?,do that first,
then turn mixture screw until engine hunts an then turn it in until
the hunting stops,if your idling speed has now become to high turn
out your throttle stop.
try that!!

it seems the grp a what was on there was better on idle etc but just hesitated on boost sometimes......My mixture screw maybe fooked as it seems to make no difference when adjusting...may swap the bottom bit with the green seals and mixture screw over.....also the accelerator pump how far must that be screwed back on??

Mart

22-03-2009, 22:27

Adey, sorry I didn't get round to calling you back mate :ashamed: but as per the pictures that James posted, you'd use a 5mm drill-bit & position it inside the venturi as such, so that it holds the throttle plate 5mm open. With the bit still in situ, you then adjust the acc' pump rod nut so that the pump lever is fully pressed in.

When the drill-bit is removed, you should be able to move the throttle (plate) to approx 5mm open, with the acc' pump lever fully depressed, and then be able to move the throttle further so that the plate itself opens fully.

Using a smaller drill-bit to set the gap will cause a quicker/larger squirt of fuel to be present each time you come back on the gas, and using a larger drill-bit will cause the opposite to happen; eg, if you find your afr's are way too rich when coming back on throttle (after a gear change, say), use a larger diameter drill-bit to 'lengthen' the time the acc' pump jet is fuelling.

J$£5GTT

22-03-2009, 22:32

i need to have a look at my carb and see what jet i have,when i give
it lots of throttle an rev it to 6 and a half....it flat spots..like i have emptied
all the fuel and it takes a second or so to regain itself if you understand
me???
:confused:

Adey aka Ewok

22-03-2009, 22:33

nice one cheers martski, think my problem lies elsewhere now, as i tried to adjust the idle mixture and even with the needle all the way it was still slightly lean on the mot testers machine major air leak somewhere. got a carb overhaul kit on the way, will rebuild it all and go from there.

Guess you won't be needing my help anymore then ;)

On another note was stripping two carbs down last night and there was a slight difference on the rear of them, one was blanked off where as the other appeared to have a brass screw in it just wondered why this was?

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s4/tiff_lee_photos/carbs.jpg

Mart

25-03-2009, 18:49

That screw is used for holding the aux venturi in situ.

tiff_lee

25-03-2009, 18:52

Oh right, so how is it held on the other one?

Mart

25-03-2009, 18:55

The screw (and spring) pushes against the venturi so it's held in place by force as such (against the emulsion tube outlet hole) on the opposite side.

Been having a few of the same problems with re-furbing my carb, some of the gaskets had holes in them so replaced all them.

Started the car up fine and ran perfect, but went to start it up a couple of hours later and it sounded rough and kept cutting out.

The mixture screw does has soon play in it :crap:

sorry mart im blind. am i doing this correct? also does the white little plastic thing that the spring presses up against sit tightly in the acc pump part?

cheers

Mart

29-03-2009, 16:57

Hi Tom,

Those pic's are a bit hard to make out on my display, but in short, the (5mm) drill-bit should be sitting in-between the edge of the throttle plate & venturi wall. You then adjust the lock-nut on the pump rod/lever so that the lever (and thus the diaphragm) is fully pushed in @ that 5mm throttle plate gap.

You'll then find that when you move the throttle further/more open, the accelerator pump lever itself won't move (in) any more, yet the rod will 'push through' as such - That's perfectly normal and exactly what you're looking for.

tom t

29-03-2009, 17:33

okie dokie, i will have to do that then. ive just put the carb on how i done it. and ive had fuel come out of the acc pump....:ashamed: would that be because it isnt closed fully? meaning i need to but the drill bit all the way down the side of the venturi like you say? cheers mart

also is the white plastic part with the spring suppoused to be stuck inside the acc pump part? as mine isnt.

I thought about using radiator primer too. I used it on my charge pipe and its been gravy so far.

tiff_lee

You not got a dremel to give it a polish? I gave it a blast on the polished at work and although the wheel is too big for the carb to get in the awkward bits what it did touch came up instantly!

i will have to take that part of the carb apart on tuesday and have a look, i cant see how it can be the diaphragm as its new be a bugger if it was. as i suppouse you can only get them in the kit?

could it be possible to get two diaphragms in the kit muddled up? and put them in the wrong place? (or maybe theres no chance as they wudnt fit)

dont think its the pump cover though as its coming out of the middle where the bracket goes in...

thanks

Mart

03-04-2009, 16:39

Did you refit the spring that sits behind the diaphragm?

Mart

03-04-2009, 16:41

Did you refit the spring that sits behind the diaphragm?

Thinking about it, that wouldn't make a difference as the diaphragm would still 'seal' the fuel in as such.

Either the diaphragm isn't sitting correctly, it's split, or you've fitted the wrong type, but I can't see that as none of the other diaphragms in the kit look anything like the acc' pump item.

tom t

03-04-2009, 16:55

ok cheers will have to investigat tuesday as im on hol at the mo. pretty sure its the right diaphgram. it looks like it fits the hole fine from the outside too.

any idea if i could get one seperatley if it is split? cheers thanks for youre help much appreciated.

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

hiya any help please. i have rebuilt my carb used carb service kit, put in new jets, mixture screw an throttle return spring when i was there, an cant get it to idle. it just wont stay running. just before i took the carb off i started fitting a full samco hose kit and i'm now having abit of trouble with my breather hose's. there was a loud sucking noise coming from there as i had left the resrictor out of one of the hose's. i put it in an was running worse so i have taken it back out. and is still bad. i no i mite need different jets in the carb but i no some people change the breather system just by putting on a little breather filter sumwhere but i dont no where. i dont no what to do wif it any more:(

Scoff

05-04-2009, 13:20

put the restrictor back in, clean the idle jet out and set the mixture initially rich. see how you go with that. If it runs then set the mixture properly.

Ok this is various bits an bobs after shotblasting...

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s4/tiff_lee_photos/Renault%205/DSC00154.jpg

and this is after zinc plating, cost be £20 to have about 30 bits done, linkages, studs, brackets etc

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s4/tiff_lee_photos/Renault%205/zinc.jpg

this was the carb after using the industrial polisher

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s4/tiff_lee_photos/Renault%205/DSC00156.jpg

I have gone over it with my dremel to get into the awkward bits, once I start putting it back together i'll put a pic up of how the polishing turned out. I think it is safe to say though that the silver lacquer paint is a more practical option!

just took the accelerator part of the carb off the diaphgram doesnt seem split at all, ive put water one side of it and nothing came through aswell.

and there appears to be no crack in the metal.

is it possible to put the spring in the wrong way? and which way should i be putting it? small end onto the carb body? or vice versa? thanks.

Does it not show you on the assembly diagram with the rebuild it?

However ask and you shall receive!

The car runs alot better as imagined, better throttle response and doesnt stall when you floor it but then given the internal state of the carb before i'm surprised it ran at all.
