If it is a Jap imprt with all the emissions stuff on it then good luck

they are a bugger to get working right once they stop workin right

make sure all vacuum lines are connected and they look like they on right way round

see if it has a little window for fuel level(maybe on back of carb by firewall)

they usually have a wee pointer to tell u prper level

[nt_a_foz]

Yeah it a jap import it a 1988 though...

Me and sleeperfoz had a look there was one hose off we fixed that....

The fuel level was right we checked that 2 as well..

[DRFVDR]

ah yes I know them well

POS system

they go well when going well

the auto choke are problematic

not sure wot more can be done

[nt_a_foz]

im like 99% sure its to do with the timing and carby settings cause somebody had a botchy as go at tuning before i bought it cause sleeperfoz had a look and reckoned timing was 180 degrees out or sometihng as it was around on the slides as far as it would go....And the carb settings were all up the wall

[Swindog]

Dont touch the carb till you sort the timing. jus get a timing light and see where its at. The auto choke valves stick on those sometimes too...get some Lano spray and let loose everywhere lol

[Guest sleeperfoz]

yeah i moved the auto choke as it was on when the car was hot

just dialled it around untill off while the car was hot.

some one has had a real bodge go at tuning it.

sorry i couldnt do more for ya brad,i just dont have the gear

[nt_a_foz]

all goods got someone to look at tomorrow night..

Will def get timing sorted first THEN play with the carby...

The float or something inn the carb seems to be sticking cause sometimes the revs seem to stick...
