Alan,
Is this a metallic silver 2+2 (possibly with blue stripes)? If so we may be
able to help with some history on the car, as a previous owner, Robert is on
this group. He may be able to help answer some of your questions.
Regards,
Steve

Hi there,
I recently became the owner of a blue 94 factory built 2+2 and have
already built up a list of jobs to do on it as long as my arm, thought
I'd come on here to plunder some of the collective knowledge on offer as
I fear I'm nowhere near enough mechanically minded to go it alone. It's
a 1.9 with weber carb (fitted with electronic autochoke) and some rather
loud pipes, sounds and runs pretty well at 2000rpm+ but not so great at
idle.. I figure it could just be a lumpy fast road cam but it's also
challenging to start and surged once or twice on me today. There's also
quite a strong whiff of petrol..
Any idea on what's most likely to be causing the rough running/how to
diagnose carb issues. Having moved from a fairly straight forward ECU
controlled car to something with carbs I'm a bit lost..
I've also found the car a bit too low at times, it grounds on bumps quite
easily and won't go up my driveway without a makeshift ramp being setup
for it.. I'm wondering if it has been lowered or the springs have gone
soft? There's less than 5" clearance between the sill and the ground
behind the front arch (the tow hook and exhaust being lower still), what
is the typical ride height of a 2+2, or an XR2 for that matter? Would
new front shocks and springs improve matters?
Final niggle for today is the inaccuracy of the speedo. Unfortunately the
only time it gets near to being accurate is around 70mph. At below 40mph
it's hopeless, recording nothing up to about 15mph and only around 20mph
when you're doing 30. What with the sharp acceleration and addictive
exhaust note I really need to find a fix before I end up with points..
