ROFL sellers you monkey

Right the ignition barrel you will need to push it right into the barrel and then wiggle it around till something happens, then see if it keeps happening (i.e. will only fire when its one certain place)

Fuel pump take the spark plugs out,dry them completely and then put them back in, turn the engine over and then switch it all off and remove the plugs again, they should be stinking of fuel and wet aswell.

Could also be a iffy ignition coil. I might have one if it is.

ok iam writeing all this down

ok the barrel thing, its a pain to start but i dont see that the barrel would cos the engine to nearly die out, or could it ?

the smell of petrol is realy bad, when 1st started or when its turned off, but i was told that was beacuse of the excess petrol sitting in the cam, but i thought i would mention it

ignition coil, to do with the barrel or somewhere else ?

sellers, many thanks i might need it

many thanks

dying out sounds more like the choke than anything else.

The barrel relates to the ignition coil, its just a thought as it tells the coil to fire via the ECU. Petrol pump sounds ok then.

Ignition coil is easy to trace its what the centre lead on your dizzy links too.

smell of petrol could well mean the choke is gone, i know it sounds simple but whats your accelerator cable like?? might be snagging in places and then freeing??

[pinkcrush]

no the accelerator cable has been checked

Hi ann.
Loosing power untill it's warm could be a fault on the warm air system, this is the pipework from the exhaust manifold to the air filter. Make sure the pipe is intack and the vacuum opperated flap in the air filter housing is working. You can check the flap with the engine running by disconnecting and reconnecting the small vacuum hose and the flap should opperate, vacuum on and the flap shuts of the cold air and lets hot air from the exhaust into the air filter to stop the carb from icing.
Hope this helps.
Steve.
