Hi guys,
Need your thoughts.
Having a few issues with my GL.
It's a 1983 Mk1 JB engine 1457cc with a Weber carb as a replacement for the 1B3 (36tlp I think).
Problems include
1. Hesitations - Say we are under full throttle, then if I suddenly reduce throttle to 50% it jolts and judders before continuing on fine.
2. Planting my foot from idle in any gear results in kangerooing, i.e. power, no power, power, no power but not quite as little as before etc..
All I can say is it's a sine wave of acceleration until about 2000rpm in first where it seems to settle down but this judder/kangerooing happens at any RPM in any gear - just less noticeable at higher RPMs.
Anybody got any ideas what it is?
Really getting to me as it was running perfectly for years!
Also any carb specialists I can take the car to in the south of the UK?
