    Bad Mood!!!!

    So i changed my fuel filter, nice easy job took 10 mins once finished it started to rain so i went in the house. Went to go to the gym and the car ran like a bag of s**t and wouldnt idle turned the idle screw and got it to idle at like 1500rpm.

    Rang Ianm for some advice, double checked id put it on the right way, and i had and checked i had fuel to the carb so knowing this i took her for a spin with a some boosting to hopefully clear any crap out.

    This didnt so i put fresh fuel in and sprayed carb cleaner up the lobster to clean any more crap out this still hasnt fixed my problem and I am in the worst mood ever.

    Idle jet on the side of the carb is blocked i guess.

    Big Brass screw on the side of the carb. Undo it & remove the idle jet, give it a blow & some carb cleaner then refit & report back!

    as steve says. whenever you disrupt the fuel system you stand a chance of getting crud into the carburettor. since the idle jet is the smallest jet, that blocks first clean it out and re-set your CO.

    All sorted now, thanks for the replies.

    After pulling up after driving round trying to see if it wuld clear up i came on here and had my rant, i spoke to IANM and he said to come down i was on my way to see him when the car wasnt kangerooing i pulled over and adjusted the idle back down got so far and the car cured itself.

    I was really pissed off the day before National day as well, the only downside now is i havent been able to clean her an its pissing down with rain, but atleast i can still bring her.

    Thanks Ianm
