Title: carbauretor nightmare
Post by: oakgreengolf on 21 June 2007, 20:37
carb specialist in the west midands??

Ive got a mk2 1.3 carb, ive taken it some where already and all they did was adjust the idle. Basically the problem is when the car get hot it really struggles to idle and uses more fuel than my 16v!! , i know these carbs can be a bugger to set up which is why i need help on finding a decent garage too take it too. Ive tried stealth racing and they wont touch carbs , ive also tried midland vw but there emission tester isnt working hmm.

toyed with getting a webber but are too expensive

if you happen to have a good carb for a mk 2 1.3 j reg let ne know

any help greatly appreciated

2nd hand weber is cheap enough..

witht he pierberg afaik, the little wheel is one problem.. the spring going gunked up and sticking etc.. and the vacuum thing in the mushroom at the front on the left, is another key point it fails.. not sure aobut this tough as mine never made it apst cold cause it was ratted already
