    I can't post a link as I'm on my phone but just search for "solex 2,0" and it should come up in the results!

    Re: running lean but only after 7sec's

    ok gents, update..... she's dead

    ok not realy,but not running,fiddled with carb,checked all vac pipes and fuel lines , all fine.

    took it for a spin to check,veeeery hesitant,even when off boost,with very high AFR's (17-20 !)

    drove about a mile and it started kangerooin like mad,AFR went throgh the roof,then died.....

    so guessing the fuel pump's coughed its last breath of optimax would i be correct in this assumption? havent taken things to bits yet,managed to get it started and splutter home but judging by the afr's and the way it was reacting am goone say pump

    also,all this happened within the sace of say 5-10 mins? never once went over 2.5k and never on boost so internals should be ok? no scored pistons etc?

    Is the pick up strainer in the tank blocked or the tank full of sheit? doubt it will be anything to do with the needle valve. Things like this can be so frustrating

    It might be worth pulling the carb off mate and stripping it down and seeing what the condition of it all is like.

    Did you find out what the fuel pressure was like at the carb?

    Re: running lean but only after 7sec's

    You need to check FP at the carb to make sure it's ok, then you are looking at blocked pipe somewhere, blockage in tank, dodgy FPR, duff carb, dodgy fuel pump relay or wiring, check the voltage to this stays constant under load etc....
    Sorry if some of this has been covered just glanced the thread..
    Also did you change the fuel filter & put it back in the right way round??
