[Quantum Owners] 2+2 Intermittent Cutting Out

Hiya folks I am after some advise please? Q2-002 keeps cutting out at intermittent times. It feels like fuel as it splutters and hunts, and I have cleaned the carbs, replaced the fuel line with shiny copper ones, replaced the fuel filter to the fuel pump, and fitted new rubber pipes to all

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 boot struts plus roof issues

Hiya If you have vinyl roof, then they do shrink - happened on both my old MG, and the 2+2. Now got a mohair / double duck (cannot remember which!), This will not shrink. My solution was to put rubber strips as per for sealing to door fram on the top of the windows - this helped, and also

Hiya folks Thanks for all the suggestions - I have fitted a new coil, and new HT Coil leads - I realised the 'new' leads were 4-5 years old, and the HT Coil lead was even older... Time flies when you are having fun ;-) Fingers crossed... TTFN James T Q2-002 -- -- You received this message

Hiya folks Think (touch wood) I have fixed Q2-002 - looks like the 'Accelerator Pump Diaphragm' in the carb had gone a bit iffy - replaced both the diaphragms - car has behaved for the last week and a half... Many thanks for all the help and suggestions :-) Best regards James T Q2-002 --

Hi Mike I had the same issue with Q2-002 a few years ago, it would tick over all day, or run on full throttle, but cut out in between. It turned out the fuel line was breaking up inside the pipe, and bits of steel were somehow getting through the filter into the carb, and blocking the 'normal

Hi If you still have the large 'pancake' filter, it could be vapour lock on the fuel line as it is quite a nice little heat trap. I have changed to an K filter, but I also wrapped the rubber hose in alumunium tape which seemed to help. Best regards James T Q2-002 www.bostin.photography >
