Title: running like a beetle on idel
Post by: Deefadog on 16 March 2006, 07:43

Hi all, well she's been standing out the back for about 5 months now, but i have started her every week and she is still firing up fine, but even after she has been idling for 15 mins there is a strong smell of fuel from the exhaust, so she is running rich and also she sound like a beetle, you the dut, dut, dut,dut.  I am not sure if it's the exhaust or what?


Any ideas?

Thanks
