800 - 2000 revs, runs like crap, fine after
« on: 24 November 2009, 15:34 »
reet issue with my 8v,

when i accelerate slowly theres no issue, but if i try to put foot down, it gets boggy and misfires/splutters, but it doesnt do it every time. Was running fine, filled up with fuel and its started running dodgy, shoved in some red ex which has helped a little but not a lot..

any ideas that i can try..

Dizzy timing?

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

Or that bloody relay that likes to f*ck up and cause horrible lumpy running at low revs.
